Abstract

This paper traces the history of dredging from a primitive dredge invented by Leonardo da Vinci to the most modern and powerful equipment. Emphasis is given to the modern hopper dredge and recent development in connection with the use thereof. The possibility of application of hopper dredges to beach nourishment work is discussed with an account of current experiments being made in an effort to develop the practicability of such usage.
