The Dutra

The Dutra Museum of Dredging is a private collection of items representing the history of side-draft clamshell dredging in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the role that the Dutra family and Dutra companies have played in creating the Delta’s infrastructure. The collection, unique in scope and size, spans the century that has elapsed since the introduction of steam-powered dredging equipment to the California Delta.
