    Harold Catlett, pictured here, worked on the water in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, navigation mission from 1985 until his sudden passing in 2014. Catlett was a mentor to many hydrographic surveyors over the years and personnel he worked with overwhelmingly supported naming Baltimore District’s new survey vessel after him.

  • Cannelton lock dewatered for critical repairs

    Repairs are being done on the Cannelton Locks and Dam, on the Ohio River in Indiana. Before work could begin, the 1,200 foot lock chamber had to be dewatered, which involves pumping the water out giving the crew room to work in the nearly-empty chamber. Bulkheads were put into place to keep water out of the chamber at both ends. The miter gates are being inspected and worn out components on the lower gates will be replaced. The work began in June and is expected to continue through the fall of 2017.
