Ireland’s Last Working Steam Dredger "The Mud Boat" Built to Last

The SS Portlairge, known as the Mud Boat, was built in Dublin in 1907 and worked for over 75 years dredging Waterford Harbour and the River Suir. This coal-fired steam hopper dredger kept the channel navigable for growing commercial ships until 1987, when she was beached at Bannow Bay, County Wexford, where she remains today. #SSPortlairge #MudBoat #WaterfordHarbour #IrishMaritimeHistory #SteamShip #BannowBay #CountyWexford #industrialheritage Image by Arthur Henri Poole (c. 1923).
