Notes
  • Significance: The Cincinnati is a "dipper dredge," particularly suited to the shallow, rocky conditions of American inland waterways. The dredge operated for 78 years on the Ohio River and its tributaries. The Cincinnati was part of federally funded waterways improvement projects developed to enhance the economic viability of American rivers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
