TWO HARBORS BREAKWATER - a photo on Flickriver

TWO HARBORS BREAKWATER: In the 1887 Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers of the U.S. Army, a plan was developed to supplement the protection of the natural harbor at Agate Bay. On October of 1888 a contract was let for construction of the East breakwater. By 1892, work had begun on the west breakwater.

Records from 1892 show over 1,300 ships entering and leaving Agate Bay. It is to be remembered that the first shipment of iron ore left Agate Bay in August of 1884. So, within a decade, there was a drastic increase in boat traffic. This boat traffic included not only iron ore, logs being shipped, commercial/passenger traffic and coal.
