Rowe Brothers Lighter Fleet Dredges Coast Works
The Richmond based Rowe brothers and Nelle Maxwell formed a heavy dredging and lightering company about fifteen years ago. A 1915 incorporation with capital stock funded four lighters and a ten man crew. They build a Plymouth breakwater and docks for Standard Oil in Portland, with major work along the Kennebec River and Swan Island.
