1 / 20   gangplank

Description
Down the gangplank we go to the General Brock, on the left, and another unnamed vessel on the right. Both ships are dredge rigs, the General Brock still has most of its dredge equipment intact. The large vertical pipe on the back of the ship you can see to the right of the gangplank are used to hold the rigs steady on the water. Basically big spikes that can be lengthened, there are two of these on the back of each ship and are raised and lowered by the cranework.

  the general brock was the hyrdraulic dredge that dug the channel in lake st louis for the seaway, a hydrualic drege is a big cutting head on a pipe that pumps what it digs out of the water, MIL had also bucket ladder dredges IE: bruxels and the manseau series of dipper dredges like the one on the right (it was pobably manseau 10x x being the number in the fleet

  What a shitty job of developing I did... Hardly any contrast.

  agitate agitate agitate! hard to pop out those light tones now but it can be improved with a higher contrast paper/developer using the water bath technique.
