12 / 20   General Brock Drill

Description
Brock's brill and lowering stuff. I'm not sure if this was a vertical drilling platform or horizontal one.
The breakwater on the other side of the river leads into the abandoned dry docks where many merchant and war ships were built over the years.

  the drill head was places at an angle as the brock was advanced by a tugboat. they would place a collection barge next to the brock to pick up the overburden, the brock, while having a fairly small head compared to the dipper dredges could go non stop unlike a dipper dredge that "dipped" its bucket under water then pulled it back up

  There is about a dozen buckets in a pile on the land.
