It is Waterford, looking across at Ferrybank, let's see if I can get a photosphere from Google to link correctly.

Google gets a hit on Facebook (my efforts to link there unsuccessful) to a 2015 talk by Sonny Condon to the Waterford Archaeological & Historical Society: This lecture will be on the famous SS portlairge, a steam Dredger built in 1907 in Dublin. The Portlairge Dredged the port of Waterford nearly 70 years There is a photo of the boat alongside the quay in 1980! Perhaps Flickroonies with local knowledge will remember her.

Dredge at work on the Tamiami Trail
from Florida Memory

Pixel Wrangler said:
This is one of the three historic Walking Dredges "that were primary working machines that made the Tamiami highway construction project possible. The dredge's patented engineering played a pivotal role in the speed, safety, and financing in the struggle to build the Tamiami Trail through the Florida Everglades." [1]
Florida Memory has other photos of the Walking Dredge in their collection -- including this additional photo of the Walking Dredge at work on the construction of the Tamiami Trail.
One of the three dredges, "The Bay City Walking Dredge #489" has been preserved by the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places, as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, and can be visited in a somewhat remarkable display at Collier-Seminole State Park in Naples, Florida.
Photos of the dredge can also be seen on the National Register of Historic Place's Flickr pages, and you can read and see more about how this unique dredge works here.
Florida Memory uploaded a photo that shows the end result (in 1927) of the construction through the Everglades!
