The Dredger.

This is the latest of the Canal Dredging Boats at it's discharging station. The spoil is pumped out and dried. It can be used for building roads etc. The Canal depth is maintained at 38 ft deep. The idea being that any boat that can use the Suez Canal (26 ft deep) can use the Manchester Ship Canal.
