Date(s) Construction and Rehabilitation History 



1888 A 750-ft-long slag jetty was constructed by a railway company at 

 Claiborne Harbor. 



1912 The jetty was extended 250 ft seaward as part of the federal project 

 and was constructed of timber piles (Figure 53). 



1928 The timber pile extension was in poor condition and was missing a 

 seaward section. 



1970's The jetty was repaired, and revetment was placed around the jetty and 

 wharf area of the harbor by non-Federal interests. 



1978 A report recommended removal of deteriorated timber piles. 



1981 A survey indicated the jetty was in excellent condition. 



1986 Plans are complete for jetty rehabilitation. No details are 

 available.
