Coal Creek dredge, spring of 1936.
Readily identifiable in this photograph are, on the upper deck, the bull
gear, the two pulleys that power the lower bearing on the screen and the
stern gantry which will support the stacker. On the lower deck (fore to
aft left to right) the Atlas diesel engine (without it's four
cylinders), boiler and the small Atlas diesel engine used to power the
pumps at the stern. The break in the hull at the left is intended to
accommodate the digging ladder and bucket chain. (Bill Lemm Collection,
