We have dated this aerial ca. 1935, because the 1934-36 seawall construction between Madison and Bay streets is underway. Part of pier 57 shows upper-right. First below it is a dock (of sorts) for the Wellington Coal Co. This is followed by the Schwabacher Pier and it by the Pike St. Pier. At the center are two small “fish piers” (now the site of the aquarium), followed by the Gaffney Pier, which is huddled with its partner the Virginia Street pier that spend most of its life transshipping newsprint for the local papers and and other printers. The Pike Street trestle descends from the Markete to the slip just north of the Pike Street Pier. We will follow this scene with several photographs taken from the viaduct, a few to the north and a few to the south.
