Left: The Pawnee II, a dredge used to<br />
remove sand from the canal’s settling<br />
basin, took on about four feet of water<br />
during the flood, damaging the dredge<br />
pump motor.<br />
A portion of the dredge roof was<br />
removed with the help of a crane, which<br />
then lifted out the 11-ton, 3,000hp motor<br />
so it can be refurbished.<br />
The Pawnee II’s predecessor — the<br />
Pawnee — also survived a flood in 1966.<br />
