    LAND BOOM JETTY AND PIVOT PIER - History

    The jetty/ pier is marked on various charts dating from 1915 – 1930, and it is still listed as “the Phosphate Jetty” on another map for that year. The pier is still shown on a 1950s map. The pier is not shown on plans after this time, and local sailing directions record the pier as ruinous in 1959. A local resident, Rob Craddock, remembers a short pier at this site many years ago, which he used to fish from.

    Two phases of construction. Sandstone pier built as a landing originally, and was probably later extended with a pier by Pivot for loading fertiliser.
