Offered here is an original vintage Pacific Tow Boat Company wall calendar from Everett, Washington, preserved in its original unopened pull-thread wrapper. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a completely untouched example of a working maritime calendar from the Puget Sound tugboat industry.
Unlike decorative calendars, these were functional tools used by tug operators and mariners, designed for daily operational use on the water.
Important Note on Contents:
This calendar remains factory sealed and has not been opened or inspected. The exact contents are unknown. However, based on other known examples of Pacific Tow Boat Company calendars from the same era and format, these calendars have historically included features such as:
Daily tide charts and tidal curves used for navigation and planning
Harbor radio frequencies for vessel communication
Period mid-century phone exchanges
Large-format layout intended for shop, dock, or vessel use
Reverse side featuring a Puget Sound nautical chart
These details are provided for general reference only and are not guaranteed for this specific sealed example.
The sealed condition makes this especially desirable, as most of these calendars were used heavily and discarded. Finding an example that has never been opened or handled is increasingly uncommon.
Pacific Tow Boat Company was part of the working tugboat industry that helped shape commerce throughout Puget Sound in the early and mid-20th century. The company later became associated with and was ultimately absorbed into larger West Coast tugboat operations that evolved into what is now known as Foss Maritime, one of the most recognized names in the region’s maritime industry. This places this calendar within that broader historical lineage.

Original factory pull-thread wrapper intact
Never opened or displayed
Paper wrap shows minor age-related wear and toning
