Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



as the Tudor Wharf site was then known. 

 These maps suggests that filling had 

 taken place on the site, in addition to 

 the building of the pier structure. From 

 Water Street, the location of the 

 historic high water line, there are 

 filled tidelands for a distance of 300 

 feet to the bulkhead. Austin's Wharf 

 extended from the bulkhead to the 184 

 Harbor line, a distance of 145 feet. 

 Subsequent maps, from 1847 and 1885, as 

 well as present, suggest that the filled 

 area on the site has remained stable 

 since the 1840 's. The map study also 

 suggests that the site was dredged along 

 the eastern edge of the pier. This 

 dredging permitted large vessels to load 

 and unload cargoes at Tudor Wharf and 

 Hoosac Pier. 



As stated earlier, all of the project is 

 in either private tidelands or 

 Commonwealth tidelands. The planned uses 

 for the Commonwealth tidelands area 

 include an excursion boat dock, part of 

 the historic ship exhibit dock, and the 

 pier end, which will be public open 

 space. There will be no private use of 

 the Commonwealth tidelands area. 



The first floor uses planned for the 

 private tidelands area include the 

 restaurant, retail and commercial space,
