Dredgers - 28th Dec 2014 6:51pm
In the 50s there were two Dredgers moored in one of the docks, by Vittoria Dock I think, they were both sitting on the bottom, half full of water, very good for exploring, I can't remember their names, (Centaur and /or Leviathan spring to mind, but not sure) one of them had been rammed amidships and had a huge baulk of timber bolted to the side, bridging a gap where it had been rammed, I don't know what had happened to the other one which had a bucket system which was quite high, but great for climbing up, going down the ladders into the engine rooms which were half full of water was exciting to a twelve/thirteen year old lad, no Health and Safety in those days, does anybody have any info on these ships please
