Figure 2: The bow of the Dredge before we started work. The crew removed the buckets from the digging ladder before winter lay-up in 1959. The standing rigging is bar-tight, and the steel frame is in place (just visible above the tree line.) Note the original gangway being used for access to the bow deck. Note the support under the digging ladder, visible in the bottom right of the picture. (Alex Barbour photo)
