1926 69ft. Ocean Tug "Kittie B"
Well loved and used often for personal use and Orcas Island community activities.
This classic tug "Kittie B" has a 1913 to 1926 Atlas Imperial 100 Engine.
San Juan Islanders enjoy watching her cruising by, the "Kittie B" is always up to something fun around the San Juan Islands. Islanders express that they like the well known sound of her engine as she passes the shoreline; the delightful atlas imperial sound of
" Po -ta -toe, Po -ta -toe, Po -ta -toe."
Owned by David and Kittie Baxter.
Moored at their Orcas Island Home, Lieber Haven Rentals and Marina.
Lieber Haven Rentals and Marina has a 1913 Depot Hack Ford Model T, called Aunt Maude.
Despite all Aunt Maude's years she still gets around by participating in Orcas Island parades.
The 2004 parade in Eastsound, Aunt Maude took a rest and allowed the local pomeranians to attach a leadline to her and tow her down the street as the Orcas Island Ididorod. (these dogs? acted like they were towing anyway, Aunt Maude kept her engine running just in case those 10 odd fluff balls didn't have enough power) Of course those little dogs needed harnessing anyway and they got 1st. place for being Original.
Aunt Maude makes an appearance at Rosario Resort and other locations on Orcas Island for weddings, she has often supplied newlyweds with a little tour to announce their marriage.
Aunt Maude with some well seasoned T's toured Orcas Island.
Members of the T-Oilers club from around Washington State stayed a few days at Lieber Haven Rentals.
