Steven Oldham was 48 when he was last known to be in Bath, Maine, on December 21, 2000. He was working as a crane operator during dredging for a floating dry dock at Bath Iron Works when the mobile crane tipped off a barge into the Kennebec River. A co-worker who had been in the crane was rescued, but Steven was not found; the crane itself was later recovered.

NamUs records list his height as about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 1 inch and weight about 200 to 215 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, and identifying scars on the bridge of his nose and on his back. He was reported wearing a blue sweatshirt, blue jeans, tan Carhartt coveralls, and a wedding ring. OSHA later cited the marine contractor Weeks Marine and proposed fines related to the incident’s safety failures.

Steven remains listed in NamUs as missing person MP55267. If anyone knew Steven, worked at Bath Iron Works at the time, or has information about that day on the Kennebec River, please come forward with what was seen or remembered.
