From the information board:

"Koos No. 2 was the second of several tugboats with the Koos name to work for the Knutson Towboat Company. Built in 1924 by Frank Lowe at his Marshfield shipyard, Koos No. 2 went to work with her sister tug Koos.

The original Koos was used as a travel boat by the Simpson family to get from their estate at Shore Acres to the Coos Bay waterfront. The photograph below, [defaced infomation board] taken in the early 1900's, is the Koos before its conversion to a tug. The Koos No. 2 was retired in 1987 and donated to the community by the Knutson Towboat Company."
