Oldport Days - Oldport Wharves.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Other wharves are occupied by mast-yards, places that seem like play-rooms for grown men, crammed fuller than any old garret with those odds and ends in which the youthful soul delights. Then there are wharves quite abandoned by commerce, and given over to small tenements, filled with families so abundant that they might dispel the fears of those alarmists who suspect that children are ceasing to be born. Our wharves are almost all connected by intricate by-ways among the buildings; and one almost wishes to be a pirate or a smuggler, for the pleasure of eluding the officers of justice through such seductive paths. www.worldwideschool.com /library/books/lit/drama/OldportDays/chap2.html   (4285 words)

New Bedford Whaling Museum | Research Construction details of New Bedford’s early wharves are known only in the most general terms: descriptions are few, and the wharves themselves predate any requirement that the builder file plans, obtain licenses, or comply with building codes or zoning restrictions. The old wharves in the medieval harbor of Hull (Kingston-upon-Hull), which in the 19th century served England’s principal Arctic whaling fleet, are handsomely constructed of brick. An unusual wharf plan was proposed for Nonquit, Massachusetts, in 1900, consisting of a stone wharf, a series of four minor stone piers, and a larger stone pier, connected by bridges of 4 x 8 inch (10 x 20 cm) wooden cap log beams; these, in turn, were decked over with 2-inch (5 cm) planks. www.whalingmuseum.org /kendall/old_nb/old_nb_wharves.html   (1212 words)

Handbook of Texas Online: GALVESTON WHARVES The wharves were repaired at a cost of $382,673 and reopened within two weeks, but the massive rebuilding effort and need for borrowed capital focussed local attention on the poor state of the city's finances. In 1946 the wharves consisted of six miles of concrete dockage, a six-million-bushel grain elevator, forty-seven miles of railroad track, assets of $12 million, corporate surplus of $5 million, and bonded indebtedness of $2.5 million. Since its change to a city utility the wharves still suffered from the normal wide swings in its operating revenues, but on the average its return on asset value was positive at about 5 percent. www.tsha.utexas.edu /handbook/online/articles/GG/etg1_print.html   (3819 words)

But the people of Trondheim have always seen the special quality of the wharves, so they are still proudly standing today, having not only survived the Swedes, but also plans in the 1930s to tear them down and replace them with modern blocks in the functionalist style.

Are the wharves our weakest link? - In Depth - theage.com.au But security at the wharf had been boosted after the September 11 terror attacks, and Djelos Nikolic and his organised crime associates could not be wharf-side to greet their cargo.
