Description:The fishing fleet and other coastal businesses sustained heavy damage during the hurricanes of 1938 and 1954. In 1965, the Army Corps of Engineers finished building a barrier across the harbor entrance to protect businesses and homes from storm damage. A 150-foot gateway allows boats to pass and water to flow between the inner and outer harbors. Gates close the barrier when storms surges are predicted.
