This is the last of our review of the state of summer-readiness of the commercial piers and docks in Brooklin, some of which suffered significant damage from violent weather this winter. Here are recent images of the famous WoodenBoat School pier, which seemed to survive the storms wonderfully well.
The image above reveals the pier’s massive granite slab foundations during a lowering tide last week. Of course, the pier’s docking float and gangway were removed from the pier’s end for the winter. Below, you’ll see the pier during a normal rising tide this month. During some of the storm periods, super-high tide water driven by angry winds washed over the pier’s deck.
