Description
The Rockland Breakwater was built with over 700,000 tons of granite at a price of $750,000 and took almost two decades to complete (1881-1899). It was built because in the 1850's, several big storms from the northeast caused an extreme amount of damage to the inner parts of Rockland Harbor. Without the breakwater, it would be impossible for Rockland Harbor to fulfill its potential as a commercial port and working harbor.
