Description
Built 600 lineal feet of rubble sea wall enclosing a yacht basin, a harbor master’s station; paved certain drives with natural rock asphalt. This improvement like Aquatic Park added to the picturesque shore line a useful recreational asset. The new harbor, front yard of the fine Marina homes contains several hundred yachts, launches and other pleasure craft. The drives and spacious grass plots of the Marina afford opportunity for the spectators to witness the boating and yachting engaged in by so many local sportsmen.–Healy, pp. 67-68.
