Civilian Dock

The community's own pier, on the west shore facing Portland across the harbour. This is the side of the island that always looked toward the city — the steamers of the summer era came in nearby, and the present dock keeps that orientation.

• The Portland skyline and the ferry track across the harbour are in plain view from the pier head.
• Shore Road runs north from here past Little Beach toward Crab Point.
• Bonfire Rock sits just offshore to the southwest.

1. 1.How does the present civilian landing relate in position to the nineteenth-century steamboat wharf?

Distances are straight-line from recorded coordinates. Island roads curve, so allow more time than the estimate.
