Abstract:

At Nag's Head Jenrette's Pier juts one thousand feet in the ocean and features wind power and geothermal heating. It replaces a pier heavily damaged by Hurricane Isabel in 2003. The original was built in 1939 by William Jenrette an Elizabeth City fruit and produce wholesaler. The structure will help to preserve the architecture, history and culture of North Carolina's coast.
