More posts, obviously these are old and the pier's collapsed. Russell brought up an interesting question about how these got put in to begin with. Kind of like, how in the heck do they build underwater tunnels without them flooding. I have always wondered about that one. But the reason they don't yank them out is ecological. There is so much oil and fuel from boats which have docked at these old piers, that pulling them out would stir all that stuff up and pollute the river worse than it is. So they just build over them. I'll show you new posts tomorrow.
