SUN CONTRACTORS

Harvey LA

Most recent update: August 16, 2014.
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.  If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail timcolton@aol.com
