W D WATERWAY AT WORK, 1975

Dredging the harbour

By Andy Gilbert

When the dredger Foremost Prince was 'retired', most of Newhaven's dredging was then carried out by the smaller Testside. However the main channel was usually dredged by a series of suction dredgers from the Westminster Dredging company. The regular visitor for many years was the W D Waterway, and she is seen here working where the car ferries swung prior to departure.
