Steam and smoke on the Basingstoke Canal
The Grafton grab dredger Perseverance was in full cry with steam and smoke in all directions. This was being used 'in anger' as part of the restoration of the canal and I was fortunate to see it twice and get up close and personal. The dredger is now at Ellesmere Port Boat Museum but as far as I know it has never operated there.

Dredging the Basingstoke Canal at Fleet
The canal was still being restored and dredging was being performed by the Grafton grab dumb dredger Perseverance - now in the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum. This view is from the rear of the dredger looking over the deck house that protects the locomotive type boiler. The grab has just deposited a load of spoil in the barge alongside.

Dredging the Basingstoke Canal at Fleet
The canal was still being restored and dredging was being performed by the Grafton grab dumb dredger Perseverance - now in the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum. This shows the steam operated grab depositing spoil in the barge for disposal. The hand winches on the deck of the dredger are used to position it with wire ropes passing to anchor points on the bank. The crane/grab was driven in a very sporting manner with more than one action occurring at the same time (the driver would probably have made an helicopter pilot).
I saw this in action twice and it was always a real spectacle. Sadly, it has never operated at Ellesmere Port as far as I know.
