Interesting Structures in Kingston Waters...

I had the opportunity on November 6th to dive on a couple of major structures that lie along the pipeline that served the pumphouse near the Marine Museum in Kingston. One of these, a massive wooden crib (previously noted, I think, earlier this year, by Tom Rutledge and fellow divers) is difficult to attribute. I'll place some pics of that in a while and bets on what purpose it served can be laid. The second structure, which staff at the Pumphouse had actually asked for imagery of, is the 'tower' serving (to protect / support ?) the intake pipe for the building.

Here are a few pictures of the structure and intake pipe. An interesting site - it's fascinating to imagine the engineering involved in putting this in place at the time it was constructed. By the way, for the fishermen out there, these two locations are a haven for Bass.
