Newhaven shipping

I am not sure what De Zwerver was doing with its bow against the quayside, but shortly after this it headed out to sea.

Another photo of the work being done to improve the harbour facilities at Newhaven, ready for servicing the construction and maintenance of the Rampion off-shore wind farm. The bucket did not seem to be bringing up anything but water. They were working with a fairly high tide, so I wonder whether the bucket was actually reaching the bottom.

This is a cropped version of a standard 35mm digital image.

The black discs and diamond shapes are hoisted when the dredger is working.

Cruising about in his small fishing boat, he decided not to head out of the harbour, as the ferry from Dieppe was about to dock.

I think they left a bit behind!

It is not clear whether the cut being made in this photo is the start of the hull's scrapping or relates to the removal of some of the internal parts attached to that section of hull. 12.7.2014 - It's now clear that this was the start of the removal of a squarish piece of the hull, extending down to the lowest visible horizontal rib and back to where the deck is shown in this shot. I took more photos today which will show the current condition. 2.5.2020 This work was never finished as these photos taken in 2019 show. It was still in that condition a couple of months ago. www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/49915746
