Introduction
The photographic portion of this 12 cubic foot collection was donated to the Historical Collections of the Great Lakes on
January 25, 1973. The construction estimate files were donated in November 1982. Literary and property rights have been dedicated
to the public. Duplication is permitted for purposes of conservation and scholarly research.
Agency Sketch
The Dunbar and Sullivan Dredging Company of Cleveland, Ohio was founded in 1844. Originally headquartered in Buffalo, New
York, this company also called Detroit, Michigan home before relocating to Cleveland. Subsidiary operations have been located
in Duluth, Minnesota as well.
During its years of operation, Dunbar and Sullivan has provided services for submarine rock excavation, hydraulic and dipper
dredging, land reclamation by hydraulic fill, ship channel dredging, river and harbor improvements, dock construction, pile
driving, and pipeline/cable laying. Dunbar and Sullivan has been actively involved in the development of the marine navigation
support infrastructure in the Great Lakes and Mississippi valley regions since the mid-nineteenth century. Municipal development
projects for sewage treatment plants and bridges have also been completed.
Files present note partnerships formed with the Whitney Bros. Co. (1889-1932); Merritt, Chapman and Whitney (1932-1936); and
Merritt, Chapman and Scott. The acquisition of Merritt, Chapman and Scott (founded in 1860) expanded Dunbar and Sullivan's
engineering market in the 1960s.
Scope and Content
This collection contains files regarding construction projects at port facilities on the Great Lakes and along the Mississippi
River undertaken by the Dunbar and Sullivan Dredging Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. Most of the construction estimate files are from
projects completed before the merger of Dunbar and Sullivan with Merritt, Chapman and Scott by the latter company's predecessors,
Whitney Bros. Co. and Merritt, Chapman and Whitney. Within the 12 cubic feet of files are series on construction estimates,
photographs, and correspondence. The files span the years 1891-1964.
Of particular significance are the approximately 1,005 photographs of construction sites for docks, dams, and bulkheads. These
items date from 1902-1982 and record the construction and maintenance of the technical support facilities for waterborne commerce
in the United States for much of the twentieth century.
Published materials have been separated for cataloging in the HCGL's library materials collection.
