Glen Cove Breakwater 



Glen Cove, New York 



New York District 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1906 A 1 ,465-ft-long stone breakwater was completed to provide shelter to 

 anchorage (Figure 11). Crest elevation was +10.4 ft mlw, crown width 

 was 5.0 ft, and side slopes were 1:1. Stone sizes of 1,500 lb to 

 2.0 ton were placed in pell mell fashion. Cost of initial con- 

 struction was $71,830. 



1964 A survey of the breakwater revealed that the offshore portion had 



deteriorated and the outer half had settled 3.0 ft. Crest elevation 

 varied from +5.0 to +10.4 ft mlw, and side slopes varied from 1:1 to 

 1V:2H. Stones were displaced due to undersized stone. Over 50 per- 

 cent of the breakwater was submerged at high tide. The breakwater 

 was considered stable with no breach along the entire length. 



1986 No further repair or maintenance information has been found. The 

 project has been deauthorized.
