Dredger ‘Cherry Sand’ working off Grimsby 1990s.

From the original negative.

‘Cherry Sand was built by Appledore Shipbuilders in North Devon for ABP’s predecessor the British Transport Docks Board and first entered into service in 1968. The grab hopper dredger was designed to maintain the Port of Grimsby, which is also Cherry Sands’ Port of Registry. Today, the ship operates much further afield, dredging not only on the Humber but at ports all around the UK.

The Ramsgate-registered netter is ‘Wandrin Star’ R.43. Built Scarborough in 1982. No longer afloat?
