 Cuttyhunk Harbor Jetties 

 Cuttyhunk Harbor, Mass. 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1906- During this period the north and south rubble-mound jetties, 

 1935 approximately 520 and 280 ft long, respectively, were constructed and 

 maintained by the State of Massachusetts (Figure 35). 



1937- In 1937 the Federal government adopted the Cuttyhunk Harbor Project, 

 1939 which included maintenance of the jetties. In 1939, repairs were 

 made to the north jetty using 500 tons of stone at a cost of 

 $3,600. The repairs restored the crown elevation to +8 ft mlw. 



1951 The north jetty was repaired using approximately 1,800 tons of stone 

 at a cost of $14,400. The stone ranged in size from 0.5 to 8 tons 

 and was placed to an elevation of +7 ft mlw, 1V:1.5H side slopes, and 

 a 3- to 5-ft crown width. 



1962- Visual inspections indicated the north jetty was in good condition, 

 1977 and the south jetty was in very poor condition. During the early 



1960' s recommendations were made which included repair of the south 



jetty, and subsequent repairs were made. 



1984- Annual visual inspections indicated the jetties were in good 

 1986 condition.
