Well folks, looks like the steel, sheet-pile, vertical wall wave deflector is the final answer! Maybe for the final touch for the wall, we could torch-cut the sheet-pile into the shape of a ship that would be appealing to the viewers. Just remember, when it comes time to remove the rusty sheet-pile, a good example is the old bulkheads and rusted-out sheet-pile demolition out the road! At the least, we will have a mine here that could build the zinc sleds we need. As you travel around Southeast, take note of all the floating breakwaters that are in use. Either pile or anchoring systems are used and they do work at providing extra moorage and protection at the same time. While we are dredging, might as well wash the rocks through the old sluice box for gold to recover our costs and give the taxpayers a break.
