2008 - Commercial Netsheds Removed
The commercial netsheds near 14th Street were removed to make way for new development on the waterfront.
The netsheds played an important role in the life of the waterfront. These sheds not only stored the nets, but they also served as a focal point for social life and community building. The sheds were where the fishermen, dock workers and anyone associated with fishing hung out. Card games were common among the men. You often heard laughter and music echoing from these structures.
