Port Angeles, Washington
Construction and Rehabilitation History
1945
The project was authorized for expansion of the small-boat harbor and
construction of the breakwaters.
1946
The breakwater was constructed of earth embankment core held in place
by a two-step pile and plank bulkhead with the sides and slopes pro-
tected by rock. The top width of the earth embankment was about
1 0 ft; and the length of the breakwater was 750 ft.

Plans for expansion of the boat basin and construction of the break-
1958
waters were adopted.
Port Angeles Harbor mooring basin was completed, including a 1,026-ft
1959
main breakwater and a 145-ft entrance breakwater, both of rock rein-
forced treated wood pile construction for a 5-ft design wave. The
main breakwater was constructed to a top elevation of +17 ft mllw and
left a 100-ft entrance gap between the main breakwater and an exist-
ing 750-ft long breakwater, with the gap protected by the entrance
breakwater. The main breakwater was originally designed for rubble-
mound construction, but it was modified to rock reinforced treated
wood pile at the request of local interests t o expedite the project.
The harbor and cross section of the breakwater are illustrated in
1985
Figure 75. There are no records of needed repairs or rehabilitation.
