Topic: Crystal Pier


  
  Pier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lighter structure of a pier allows tides and currents to flow almost unhindered, whereas the more solid foundations of a quay or the closely-spaced piles of a wharf can act as breakwaters, and are consequently more liable to silting.
Early pleasure piers were of wooden construction, with iron structures being introduced with the construction in 1855 of Margate Jetty, in Margate, England.
The first recorded pier in the UK was Ryde Pier, opened in 1814 on the Isle of Wight, as a working pier to allow ferries to and from the mainland to berth.

 A Short History of Crystal Pier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
John Fry's book tells the story of one of the last surviving entertainment piers that grew up along the Southern California coast in the early part of this century.
Originally known as "Pickering's Pleasure Pier", the structure was opened to the public in 1927 in hopes of encouraging investors to purchase residential and business property near the ocean in Pacific Beach -- a suburb of San Diego.
The original pier, with its Crystal Ballroom, fell victim to a legal dispute, but the marine structure -- despite being seriously damaged by storm surf in 1981 -- remains an important Southern California landmark.
