Nov. 1982 - May 1983
The original landing was started during the 17th century of stone filled wood cribs, being enlarged several times. The city acquired ownership from the New Castle Frenchtown Railroad Co. in 1914, and rebuilt the wharf with a concrete face on new wooden cribs, the trustees paying half. The New Castle Ferry Co. docked here from 1925 into 1927, when they moved to Chestnut St. The present work places new concrete base and walls on new wood piles driven outside the former cribs.| HM Number | HM12QB |
