The tug "Delmar C Lynn" was named for my great uncle on his retirement from Great Lakes Dredge and Dock. According to family legend, Delmar was a young electrical engineer working for (then) Bucyrus-Erie. GLDD purchased equipment from B-E and Delmar was sent to set-up and test the new gear. GLDD liked him and refused to accept the new equipment unless Delmar was made part of the deal. He remained with GLDD for 40+ more years.
