The dock pictured below is fairly new—certainly far newer than my 25-year-old piling dock that I've had to repair about every other Spring.
This new one has a breakwater made of boulders facing the worst of the wind-pushed ice floes.
I've long admired the "bulletproof" appearance of supports embedded in the boulders of the breakwater; however, one side has broken off, most likely during last winter's ravages. (It could also have been due to a bad location of a wood-knot in the beam).
In years past, we spoke of
temporary docks and
permanent docks. I'm now convinced there is no such thing as a "permanent" dock....
