I was part of an archaeological investigation of the West Point
Foundry Cove for EPA remediation of cadmium from batteries for Nike
missiles for Grossman and Associates. We worked with Tidewater to
side-scan sonar and magnetometer survey the riverfront and the cove,
and with Anthony Tripp of Texas A&M to magnetometer survey the fast
land, which was from 1890's to 1913 a Chicago Bridge and Steel, Co.,
rail yard for building bridges in its huge "Bridge Shop" (probably
lots of lead paint). The location of the prototype of the "Swamp
Angel" was found, said on the web here to be an important "invention"
of the American Civil War.
