The new Ellicott Series 1870 G2 Dragon dredge will replace the aging Ellicott 970 (Rudee Inlet II), which has served its community reliably since 1983.
The Sand Piper combines the robust, trusted design of the original 1870 series with advanced modern features, including upgraded hydraulics, operator controls, and the latest EPA-compliant engines.
As Ellicott reported, the entire process—from sales and engineering to production, testing, and delivery—was a true company-wide effort.
It touched nearly every department and required close collaboration between Ellicott’s Baltimore, New Richmond sites and the City of Virginia Beach.
