 make the use of the west side of Tudor 

 Wharf problematic, as the currents push 

 vessels broadside into the pier. 



Summary 



The above mentioned constraints to the 

 use of the water sheet have caused the 

 modification of the original program for 

 the water-side use of Tudor Wharf.

 possible wakes from passing pleasure 

 craft have precluded the use of the site 

 for small, manually propelled or sail 

 powered boats. The original concept of a 

 rowing club or small boat marina has been 

 eliminated as a viable option. In its 

 place, consideration is being given to 

 berthing a larger stationary historic 

 vessel on the west side of Tudor Wharf.

 location would be an asset to the 

 historic vessel and the infreguent need 

 to move the vessel would be in keeping

 excursion type vessel and/or a water
