The harbour bucket dredger. Pictured in 1983
By Alan Terrill
I used to love watching the dredgers in action at the harbour as a child. The sound of the engine and the buckets scraping, the smell of the mud and the fascinating journey of the grey slimy mud as it made its way up the incline and then down the shute into the waiting barge. Here's one I still have in my album from 1983.
