Plattsburgh Harbor Breakwater 



Plattsburgh, New York 



Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1836- 1,250 ft of breakwater was constructed of timber cribs filled with 

 1875 rubblestone and capped with large stone. Slopes were 1:1, and the 

 timber elevation was at low water level. 



1893 The breakwater was extended to 1,565 ft (Figure 7). A total of 



$32,500 was spent on renewal of the old timber superstructure by one 

 composed of large facing stones with rubblestone core. 



1949 A survey indicated the breakwater was in good condition except at the 

 ends. 



1971 Repairs were made to the north end of the breakwater at a cost of 

 $118,000. 



1986 No further repair or maintenance information has been found.
