HOWB 161 – Interview | Dave Clark on Giving a New Life to the 1944 Miki Class Tug “Dominion”

Today’s podcast is with Captain Dave Clark of Bremerton, WA. Clark traded a piece of property for the 117ʹ

historic tugboat – Dominion – 2 years ago, and has magnificent plans for her!

Dave fell in love with boats at a young age and moved to the Seattle, WA area in 1989 to pursue his boating

passion. He had a brief encounter with a Tugboat named Dominion a decade ago, and then years later in 2013 he

saw her for sale on Craigslist. He called the owner Jeff, and traded a piece of property for the tug over the phone

that day.

Dave is establishing a Non-Profit entity for the tug – Dominion Historical Workboat Association – and she is

carefully being restored in preparation for her new life as an historic wooden vessel used as a maritime museum

for training, education, philanthropy, and much much more.
