A 2,510-ft-long breakwater was constructed providing protection to 

 the wharves and Anchorage area at Bar Harbor (Figure 5). By 1917 the 

 breakwater was 88 percent complete being built to its full length but 

 not its full section (Figure 5, inset). Remaining work consisted of 

 placing final top stone over a section of the structure. This 

 portion of the project is inactive. The design section had 1V:1H 

 side slopes, a 20-ft top width, and a +10.4 ft mlw top elevation. A 

 total of 382,000 tons of stone was placed at a cost of $385,000. 



Inspections indicated the breakwater to be in fair to good condition. 



The structure has no known repair history.
