The Fitting-Out Pier (1906)

At the fitting-out pier, new vessels received their equipment and finishing work. A ramp built into the pier’s southern side allowed large timbers and spars floated down the river from the railroad yards to be landed there. The original 1898 north wharf was expanded in 1902 and again in 1906, when it grew to about 100 feet square and projected into deeper water. It has been reconstructed to its appearance in the years 1909-1920.
