ABSTRACT:
A dredging assembly pivotally suspended by a boom from a floating vessel includes an underwater frame that is propelled by rotation of spaded wheels to exert a forward propelling force on excavating drums mounted at a forward end of the frame. The drums are rotated independently of the propelling wheels in a direction opposite thereto during forward travel. Fixed baffles within the drums confine excavated material for removal by suction pressure.
