Peggy Foss Tugboat/Foss 204 Carrier Ship


This photo album, which I bought on line several years ago has zero names of individuals in it. The photos are of a couple with a young son who seem to live aboard a ship or boat of some type. The photos are taken in the mid to late 1950's. There are several photos of a Peggy Foss boat, which google shows is a tugboat although it looks different than what I think of as a tugboat, and a larger ship Foss 204. Google shows these belonged to Foss Maritime Company. This seems like a needle in a haystack but maybe this family can be identified and the album returned. There are about 75 photos.

Update 7/25/2023: One of the photos of the little boy has the name Kevin on the back. They seemed to be in the Seattle area. 

There's also the name Barbra (sic) Paull on the back of one photo, a photo with no person in it. And there's an address, which can only be partly seen because of tape. The address is 92 ?, Seattle. There is a Barbara Paull in the 1940 Census who lives at 924 Sixteenth Avenue, and she works for a steamship company. There is a Barbra Paull Gordon died in 1992.
