Title

Steam drivers 'bucket' dredger working behind the South Pier at Newlyn

Description

From time to time, the dredger would visit Newlyn, operating inside the harbour and nearby. Dredged material was tipped into a barge alongside; when full, it was towed well down into Mount's Bay and dumped on shoal ground.
