About this equipment

Designed by I.K. Brunel, built at  G. Lunell & Co., (Hotwells Dockyard) Bristol for the Bristol & Exeter Railway for use in Bridgwater Docks. 

A steam scraper boat for clearing the dock of silt. An on board steam engine dragged boat along, and a vertical fixed blade mounted below the hull scraped the mud away.

Bertha is now preserved at Eyemouth.
