Blast from the past: Beaver Belle visit

All this talk about dredging yesterday made me dig up photos from my family archives.  During the fall/winter of 1993-1994, the dredge Beaver Belle had done work to dredge inside the Meteghan wharf as well as towards the slips at Comeau Marine Railway.  In February 1994, she was towed to Yarmouth for lay up.    She was built in 1945 in Kingston, Ontario as J.P.P. 535 and sold in 1970 to Beaver Marine and currently owned by McNally Construction.
