Three photos - one of men clamming (?) in 1902, one of the newly built west end breakwater looking toward Wood End Life Saving Station in 1911 and a third, an aerial shot taken from over the breakwater, of the town looking east about 1923. Newspaper article relating why the west end breakwater was built and how it is helping to keep the tip of land from eroding with the tide.
