The mining dredges were land-locked floating machines, digging the ponds that allowed them to float-and thus move-across the area to be mined. The floating dredge most commonly operated in the North was the California-type, also known as bucket-line dredge. This type of dredge used a continuous line of buckets(called the "digging ladder") to scrape the bottom and edge of the pond. 3, record 2, English, - digging%20ladder

An hydraulic cutter dredge that uses a bucket wheel excavator in place of the traditional rotary cutter. The bucket wheel is characterized by its high cutting torque in both directions and by a positive feed of the excavated material into the mouth of the dredged pipe. 1, record 3, English, - bucket%2Dwheel%20dredge

Suction dredges, available in many sizes, are the most widely used type of dredge. They move soil by suction and pumping through pipes... The type of material to be excavated determines whether a cutter head will be required on the end of the suction line. A cutter head is used when material has to be loosened and cut up into small enough pieces to get into the suction line and flow through the pipes to discharge. 2, record 3, English, - bucket%2Dwheel%20dredge
