I believe that the labour and ex ;e of excavating were considerably reduced by build a portion of the entrance end of the docks out into sea.

Timber piles were driven :h sufficient space between the rows to allow of re ning walls being formed therein by throwing in con te. When the space wherein the dock was to be it was enclosed by the concrete walls, the water was -aped out, and the granite construction proceeded ;h.
