"U.S. Engineers Burton
up the River Rouge
past Jefferson Street Bridge
Oct. 2, 1939
Monday"
What a delightful photo! To my eye she looks more like someone's toy than a serious ship.
Sparrows Point built the Corps of Engineers four dredges in 1904. Three of those were built to this hopper dredge design. Burton was 173 feet long and 38 wide, with a 19 foot draft. She seems to have been based at Toledo--references list her there in 1907 & 1920--and had in 1920 a complement of 5 officers and 23 men.
Tidbit: Shortly after Christmas in 1906, Burton helped rescue the passenger steamer Lakeview after she ran aground at Cedar Point.
I wasn't able to find when, why, or where she was decommissioned. The last active mention I can find on Newspaper Archive is dated April 20, 1948, when she arrived to maintain the harbor at St. Joseph, so she was likely retired around 1950.
Not sure what the name signifies. For whatever it's worth, her sister ships were named Savannah and Meade.
The Corps has, apparently, photographs of every dredge it ever owned on its Dredging and Technical Services website. Worth a wander.
