Description |
Shoreline - The gracefully curved seawall shown here created a level seaside garden for the Townsend / Davis Cottage near 81 Water Street. Beyond it is a walkway over the salt marsh to the Davis float. Beyond that spindly structure is the more substantial pier belonging to the Herbert Austin estate. In the distance across the mouth of the harbor are Little and Ram islands. The stone barge with derrick at right was a common fixture in the harbor about the time of this view, circa 1920. It was probably used to build and improve stone seawalls. 2nd digital photograph - another view |
