Abstract:

In 1939, William S. Jennettte completed construction of the first fishing pier on the Outer Banks at Nags Head. It soon proved a popular destination for fishermen and visitors. Jennette's Pier survived hurricanes and accidents, but had to be rebuilt several times before its demolition in 2008 to make way for a new pier. Malat describes how the new pier differs from the old.
