Date
Construction of the east and west piers (Figure 246) was completed.
1894
The piers were constructed of stone-filled timber cribs. (Fig-
and the west pier
was 24 ft wide (Figure 249).
The east and west piers were capped with concrete superstructures
during this period. The east pier had a crest el of

and the west pier superstructure was installed at an el

maintains o n l y the lakeward 300-ft-long section of the west pier. A
1,054-ft-long portion of the east breakwater (Figure 246, Section
also was constructed during this time. The breakwater was a 23-ft
wide stone-filled timber crib. A concrete superstructure with a

the harbor side. Armor stones greater than 3 tons each were used in
construction.
A 3,403-ft-long rubble-mound west breakwater (Figure 246, Sections A
and I was constructed during this time. Breakwater c r o s s sections

were similar to those used for the east breakwater extension built
during 1911-1912 (Figure 247, Section A, and Figure 248, Section
Construction of an 886-ft-long rubble-mound lakeward extension of the
east breakwater (Figure 246, Section B) was completed during this
1923
time. The structure cross section was similar to the shoreward ex-
tension of the east breakwater completed during 1911-1912 (Fig-
