We dredged on Six Foot Knoll that day,
east of Bodkin Point and the dredged Craighill Channel to the port
of Baltimore. There were three skipjacks and dozens of patent
tongers who use hydraulically operated tongs to grab the oysters.

the bottom.

expedition, intended to lay the groundwork for Shackleton on the other
side of the continent.
