Hey guys, looking for a bit of information on the Seaway construction. Wondering if anyone had any pictures/info on the draglines on the project, especially the walking drags like "The Gentleman" and a smaller one, both owned by Badgett Construction and another one owned by Kiewit. I've heard there were more than that. I'm surprised there aren't too many pics or info available on the Web . All I've seen was some Time-Life pics and video clips on an episode of Modern Marvels. This was about as good as it got, an article on the construction from one of the subcontractors. http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/it/1995/2/1995_2_34.shtml Sounds like it was quite a tough project. Thanks in advance!
