| Description |
English: The crew of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s Elizabeth: Richard Bruton, captain, Dennis Barnes, master crane operator, Glen Boykin, marine mechanic, and Eric Sherer, deckhand, have been working all week to clear the Dismal Swamp Canal, after a recent winter storm swept through the area. They said they strongly believe in and practice every day the “t-e-a-m” in teamwork – Together…Earn…Achieve…More.On March 30, 1929, the U.S. federal government purchased the Dismal Swamp Canal for $500,000, after a protracted period of neglect and general decay by private ownership, worsened by advances in modes of transportation. In the ensuing years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates and maintains America’s oldest continually operating man-made canal, has replaced the locks of 1899 with new steel and concrete locks, along with many other navigational improvements.The Dismal Swamp Canal, which meanders through North Carolina and Virginia, is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, a major inland protected route for commercial vessel traffic from Norfolk, Va. to Miami, Fla.“Richard and I have been maintaining the DCS for 25 years,” said Barnes. “Along with Glen and Eric, our crew functions like a fine-tuned, precision engine.” (U.S. Army photo/Gerald Rogers) |
