A Jetty

I have no doubt that many of you reading this have seen or at least heard about the catastrophe that befell the Mississippi Coast and the thousands of homes destroyed. After the homes have been demolished and the debris is cleared, what do you do with the remaining slabs? A jetty extends out into a body of water using pilings or rocks to influemce the current or tide or to protect a harbor.Pascagoula used the slabs of the destroyed homes.





The aerial view taken after the storm shows the jetty on the right with lesser roundness at the tip. On the left is part of Northrop Grumman Shipyard.


I thought you might find this of interest. In a disaster there are countless things that most of us would never think of. This is one of them!
