Worms are eating through approximately150 fender piles protecting boats mooring at MacMillan Pier. |

In the News
The storm that damaged some of the floating docks at MacMillan Pier weeks ago also uncovered a potentially serious problem with the outside pilings, which could cost up to $500,000 to solve. One of two fender pilings that broke when a floating dock at the Whydah Museum crashed into them shows significant bore worm damage at the mud line. It is possible that all the other fender pilings, numbering between 150-200, may also be at risk. For the story, see this week’s Banner.
