In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - former merchant mariner and maritime historian - is joined by Megan Milliken Biven to discuss why the US needs its own domestic dredge fleet and can not be reliant on foreign dredges.  With the recent grounding of Ever Forward, this subject has been thrust into the forefront and while some lobbyist argue for the use of foreign dredges, Megan takes us through American history to place the Foreign Dredge Act of 1906 into context and why the US not only needs public dredges, but also why we still need commercial ones.
