1908, June 6 ❖ CAYOU'S STANDARD

 "Henry Cayou was in port (Friday Harbor) Tuesday evening in his new gasoline tug Standard, built especially for use in the fishing business. 

The trim little vessel was built by Reed Brothers at Decatur Island and made her first trip here for customs admeasurement. She is a trifle under 40-feet in length overall, a little over 9-feet in beam, 3.5-feet deep, measures a little under 4.5 net tons, and is propelled by a 30-HP Standard engine. Her hold is made for carrying fish and is lined with galvanized iron. She is under charter for the summer to the George & Barker Company of Blaine."The San Juan Islander, 6 June 1908.
