| History of the Golden Gate Dredge |
| Folks who have visited Snug Harbor in
the past, in the 1980's or 1990's sometimes come by and ask us what
happened to the Golden Gate Dredge that use to set at the shores of
Snug Harbor. Many remember the amazing and artistic array of
tools soldered to the railings over the years. Sadly, the
historic dredge, built in 1906 and originally named the Tule Queen,
had to be demolished due to its poor and unsafe condition. But
do not fear!! We saved all of the railings and have recently
set them up for viewing near our entrance gate! For a full
history of the Golden Gate Dredge and its railings, see below the
photos: |

Special thanks goes to Jeff and Jenny,
and to Gene, who were so creative in
setting up this outdoor example of
California workmen's art spanning
100 years of delta and farming tools! |
