Deep Sea Dredge Plan Proposed to Deepen Grays Harbor Bar
Hugh M. Delanty of the Grays Harbor Stevedore Co. advocates using a deep sea dredge to cut a 300 to 400 foot wide channel through the Grays Harbor bar to speed up deepening, arguing government aid for the project. He notes similar work at the Columbia River and says the jetties would then maintain the depth. Shipping men report summer shoaling due to winds and water flow, urging a longer north jetty to stabilize channels.
