Description
Photograph of a dredger at work in an irrigation canal near El Centro, ca.1910. Tall grass leans over the rippling water of the canal from the left foreground. The large dredger widens the canal at center by removing the far bank. A small, wooden boat floats next to the machine. Mountains can be seen faintly in the right background.
