I've mentioned several times before that the Sugarland Industries dredged Oyster Creek and adjoining lakes in the 1920s. Actually, they launched multiple dredging projects in the next 60 or 70 years. The first project was extensive and lasted several years, as you'll see from the following photos.
I want to thank Terrell Smith for providing them. They come from A. H. Weth's project files. He was chief engineer for Imperial Sugar for many years.
