Additional Information: | A 'site file' titled "Plum Island Life-Saving and Light Stations" exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. The current configuration of the pier and breakwater dates to the construction of the boathouse in 1939. Prior to that, a wood dock was located in front of the life-saving station. Constructed of fir planking. A smaller pier extended east at a right angle from the main pier. This pier was designed to allow the Washington Island Ferry to dock and deliver supplies and Coast Guard personnel. This secondary pier was removed in the early 1990s. |
