The Corps of Engineers-owned special-purpose dredge, Currituck, paid a visit to New England in the spring to dredge local areas. The Currituck is a self-propelled, self-contained, split-hull hopper dredge, based out of the Corps’ Wilmington District. The Currituck is 150 feet long, 25 feet wide, and has a bin capacity of 300 cubic yards. The Currituck is a hydraulic dredge that uses pumps to suction bottom sediments through two arms into a hopper aboard the dredge. When the hopper is full, the Currituck moves to the designated disposal site, and the material is released by splitting the hull. (U.S. Army Photo/Jack Karalius)
