Скачать или смотреть THE TUGBOAT PIONEER Thea Foss: What'sHerName Podcast Episode 160

135 years ago, Norwegian immigrant Thea Foss lived in a ramshackle driftwood houseboat on the coast of Tacoma Washington. Kind, capable, and hard-working, she was an anchor for hundreds more immigrants during America's Gilded Age. Thea built the largest maritime company west of the Mississippi- but more than that, she was the heart of the community. (Plus there's a boat parade, a catastrophic fire, and a truly delightful cow.)
Join Katie on location in Tacoma Washington as we explore the question of how to build community.
