Public Dock Built in St Johns to Serve All Vessels
The city of St Johns completed a large public dock to accommodate all boats at no dockage charge, with a forthcoming warehouse to protect goods. Two decks ensure smooth operation across water levels and boat sizes, funded at about one third of typical costs thanks to J W Cone who supplied lumber and supported the project with public spirit.
