ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vessel is provided herein for gathering marine seaweed or the like vegetation. The vessel includes a submersed element for cutting branches of the vegetation and means for gathering, raising and transfer- ring the branches in a rearward direction. The vessel includes a float- ing assembly comprising two side and elongated floats which hold an upper platform containing a command both and a power plant. A water tunnel is formed under the platform. Driven helices are located in the front part of the tunnel, the helices being adapted to drive the water within the tunnel in a backward direction. The driving means for the vessel include the helices in combination with blade wheels at the sides of the floats, the blade wheels having driving forces which may be controlled in independent and selective directions. The cutting element is located behind the first helices and at an adjustable level below the level of the helices. A branch-gathering net is disposed behind the cutting element, the net having its bottom formed by an inclined plane which assends in a rearward direction, the net being open and communicating with a cage for receiving the branches. The net and the tunnel thus form the means for gathering, raising and transferring the branches in a backward direction. This vessel is chara- cterized by its high effectiveness and by a higher yield of the power needed for its operation, with respect to the gathering means per se, with respect to the means used in the conditioning of the crop material, and with respect to the operation of the driving means.
