| Description |
Looking NNW from wharf near foot of Bingham Way. City of Louisville worker painting lamppost. Towboat "Alex M" (doc. # 979559) dredging <a href="http://water.usgs.gov/edu/sediment.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">mud</a> away from wharf. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Rogers_Clark_Memorial_Bridge" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Clark (2nd St.) Bridge</a> in background, with upper gates of McAlpine Dam in distance at far left. In the photo, the crane has lowered the dredging blade (which is mounted on a frame attached to the bow of the barge) into the mud next to the wharf. The "Alex M" will back the barge out into deeper water, dragging the mud with it. The blade will then be raised and the procedure repeated until the water is deep enough for large boats to dock there. Some mud is deposited during each high water episode, so the wharf needs to be dredged every year or so, usually in the spring. .
