075 | In 1607 the erection of the pier on the South Side of the Channel, opposite to the Sandness was begun. It was constructed of stones without cement, and of large stakes of timber, and the work was, in a great measure performed by the inhabitants, who, in person discharged no small part of the labour, The were cheered in their task by the bagpipe and drum. It seems to have been completed in 1610. and to have increased the security of the port. Towards the end of the century it was repaired, and a timber head constructed upon its Eastern extremity This was renewed about 1707 by part of the wreck of the Levant galley of Amsterdam, lost at the Black Dog. and was not taken down before 1810 - when this present strong and permanent stone pier was constructed. |
