Description

The frame of the dredger is shaped like a pyramid with a beams forming a rectangle protruding from either side. What appears to be a small, lightly-colored station at the dredger's center is labeled "Delta" and faces the glass-like water which surrounds the massive dock. An appendage of the dredge extends over the water on the right with wires operating through a pulley system to lift a chained object in the water below. People stand along the bridge which emerges from the tree-lined bank in the background.; Photoprint reads "Cost -- 7500. Capacity 175 ton per [...]. Length of beam 145 feet".
