CADEN FOSS
Tugboat Model
The model shown below was
commissioned by a Foss' executive in 2020. It is
grand-40" long. If you have limited display place,

tug model.
This is an example of ModelShipMaster's accuracy and
quality. If you are an executive or a distinguished
collector who wants only the very best for your vessel, we
are the only natural choice. You don't have to take our
words for granted, just spend some time checking out
models on the Internet and see if anything remotely
comparable with our tug models. A Google search phrase
such as
'tugboat model'
would give plenty. Beware of some companies that wildly claim their
products "museum quality" but post tiny photos that are
very difficult for you to see true details and missing
features.

JT Marine in Vancouver, Wash. in 2017. She was named
after Caden Hansen, a great-great-grandson of company
