Originally it was an open bay, unprotected from sputherly storms, and obstructed by a shoal, having a low water depth of but 6 feet at the shoalest part. This shoal nearly filled the inner harbor, and left but a narrow channel on either side of a depth insufOicieut to permit vessels of 12 feet draft to reach the upi)er wharves at low water. Between 1827 and 1831, about $37,000 was spent in constructing piers or small breakwaters in the inner harbor for the protection of the harborage.
