The Sand Man Foundation
4312 Cleveland Ave,
Tumwater WA 98501

   The SAND MAN Foundation restores and preserves the SAND MAN tugboat as a registered Historic Property and as a part of Puget Sound maritime history.   The 100 year old vessel is listed on The National Register of Historic Places (Vessels) and The Washington State Historic Register; it is listed as an Historic Site by the City of Olympia. The Foundation makes the boat available as a free floating museum and local historic landmark.   It also makes the vessel available for civic events and duties as may be deemed appropriate by the Governing Board, and attends maritime events throughout the Puget Sound area.

   The SAND MAN Foundation is a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.    A board of 9 directors governs the Foundation.  Click here for the board of directors page

All work on the boat is done by volunteers.  Materials are donated or purchased using donated money.  If you have a desire to volunteer for this project -regardless of your level of expertise- please inquire on the boat.  We are always looking for volunteers to man the boat on the weekends or to help at work parties (and of course to help out on our trips around the Puget Sound area!)
