  Jetty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pilework jetties are also constructed in the water outside the entrances to docks on each side, so as to form an enlarging trumpet-shaped channel between the entrance, loch or tidal basin and the approach channel, in order to guide vessels in entering or leaving the docks.
The nes jetties at Dunkirk were founded in the sandy beach, by the aid of compressed air, at a depth of 22 3/4 ft. below low water of spring tides; and their solid masonry portion, on a concrete foundation was raised 50 ft. above low water of neap tides.
Jetties have been constructed on each side of the outlet river of some of the rivers flowing into the Baltic, with the objects of prolonging the scour of the river and protecting the channel from being shoaled by the littoral drift along the shore.

Peripheries presuppose a center and for Smithson the relationship between a center and its boundaries was a metaphor for the "dialectic between the inner and the outer" (Holt 1979, 156, 155).
Thirdly, Smithson's spiral jetty carries on a tacit dialogue with the standard jetty, a leftover from the aborted off shore oil drilling efforts, which is located just west of Smithson's piece.

In 1970, when Smithson built the "Jetty," which is considered his masterpiece, the giant fl coil contrasted starkly with the dark pink water of the lake.
To ensure that "Spiral Jetty" is accessible to future generations, Dia, which exhibits and preserves art made since the 1960's, has discussed raising it by adding more rocks.
Dia is also studying whether nature will restore the contrast the "Jetty" originally had with its surroundings by dissolving some of the salt crystals when the lake's waters rise, or whether the foundation needs to do something more.
