| A tug, perhaps the "Tidworth", with a barge for dredged silt from the nearby dredger. This was taken out to sea and dumped through bottom doors. |

This is the "Testside", operated by James Contracting & Shipping of Southampton, later by Westminster Dredging. |

| The "gridiron", used to work on ships' hulls at low water. The ship was moored over the "grid-iron" at high water, and left out of the water when the tide went out. "Grid iron" was somewhat of a misnomer, as I believe it was mostly timber, probably Greenheart. |

Possibly the "Foremost Prince". There were usually two bucket dredgers in the harbour - a large one and a smaller one operated by a Southampton company. |

This is the "Foremost Prince", built in 1933, which worked in Newhaven until about 1968. It then departed for Australia and New Zealand, then moved to Singapore. Its last years were spent in Yugoslavia, and was scrapped in 1985. |
