Morse Diving

[1] Morse filed for bankruptcy and Diving Equipment and Supply Company (DESCO) acquired its assets in 2016.

[1] In 1837, Fletcher & Morse Co. opened at the corner of Water and Congress Streets in Boston MA.

The earliest company records are for compressor pumps which date back to the Civil War.

In 1905, William Morse retired and management of the company was given to his daughter Elizabeth, and her husband Mark A. Lawton.

In 2014 Morse was sold to Mr. Watson Roby Holland and shortly thereafter the company suspended manufacturing operations.

At the time of its bankruptcy Morse Diving was the 412th oldest business in the United States in continuous operation.
