| Notes | Issued in the Annual reports of the War Department. Report of the Chief of Engineers, Appendices part 4. An 1895 survey proposed extending the North Jetty by 2,100 feet and the South Jetty by 2,200 feet to deepen the water on the inner bar. It also planned for building groins to prevent wave action from undermining the jetties, and removing “two detached rocks in the paths of vessels” (p.3395). At the time of this report, the Corps was waiting for adequate funding to proceed with the project. This report includes an excellent summary of this history of the entrance to the harbor and previous work done. Includes commercial statistics for the bay. |
