One never knows when the next interesting vessel will come through
this area . Yesterday the Army Corps of Engineers Hopper Dredge
MCFARLAND
pasted by east bound on its way back to its home port of Philadelphia
,after some sprucing up over the winter in Virginia . The dredge is
used on the Delaware River to clean up hot spots or high spots of
