Ocean dredging
Ocean dredging was an oceanography technique introduced in the nineteenth century and developed by naturalist Edward Forbes. He would lay out the dredged material on the deck to examine, preserve and study it. The practice was chronicled in a remembrance of Forbes by William Jerdan in his 1866 book Men I Have Known.[1]
