Corozal (dredger)
The ''Corozal'' was a Scottish-built dredger used on the Panama Canal. The Renfrew-based firm of Messrs. Wm. Simons & Company won a US government tender for its construction in 1911. The vessel was launched in November 1911 and taken into US government service as the US ''Corozal''. It was the most powerful dredger ever built at that time. The ''Corozal'' operated on the difficult Culebra Cut, deepening a channel excavated by hand and dynamite. It became the first ship to sail through the cut in December 1913, shortly before the canal opened to traffic. The ''Corozal'' was sold to the Arundel Corporation in 1926 and scrapped in 1956. Construction The United States government took over the construction of the Panama Canal from a French company in 1904. As part of the project, in 1911 bids were invited for the construction of a dredger, which would become the US ''Corozal''. The Scottish firms Messrs. Wm. Simons & Company won the tender with a bid less than half that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
