side of the Southport Harbor entrance channel (Figure 52). It
appears that the stone construction was tightly interlocked since the
sea and harbor side slopes were approximately
and
respectively. The crown elevation and width were
mlw and
8 ft, respectively.
The breakwater crown was capped with 386 cu yd of concrete, and a
total of 1 3 lin ft of the structure was raised using 1 4 cu yd of

Four damaged sections of the breakwater were repaired by placing
concrete to restore them to a
