HARBOUR BOARDS DREDGE WILL SOON REACH FORTY FEET.
Alterations are now being made to the Lyttelton Harbour Board’s dredge Canterbury, which will enable her to dredge to a depth of forty feet instead of the present, thirty feet. The Canterbury is a hopper suction dredge, a much more effective type than the usual ' bucket ' dredge. The apparatus which stirs up the mud and sucks it into the hoppers works from a ladder arrangement over the stern. The alterations include a lengthening of this ladder by eight feet.
