Sun Contractors, Harvey AL

Sun Contractors was started by Bobby Dagley in 1970. It was a liftboat specialist which did not survive the downturn of the early 1980s. The yard was located at 2051 Destrehan Avenue, on the west side of the Harvey Canal: the site is now vacant. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
