Built in 1904, by Spedden Shipbuilding of Baltimore, Maryland as the passenger steamship R.M. Woodward for the United States Public Health Service.

In 1937, she was acquired by the Puget Sound Tug and Barge Company of Seattle, Washington. Where she was converted to service as towing vessel. And, renamed as the Neptune.

In 1946, the tug was acquired by the Foss Tug and Launch Company of Tacoma, Washington. Where she was renamed as Wedell Foss.

In 1980, she was sold, and renamed as the Maggie F. She eventually sank at her mooring on the Carquinez Strait at Crockett, California. And, was not salvaged. The tug was powered by single, sixteen cylinder, General Motors diesel engines.
