The first pier in Swanage was constructed in 1859 by Mowlem. It was 750 feet long and was built for shipping stone which horses pulled along a narrow-gauge tramway which ran from the seafront to the pier. Parts of the tramway are still visible along the quay. Situated at the eastern end of Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast, it has given pleasure to generations of holidaymakers and locals and continues to provide moorings for some of the world’s historic sailing ships and other vessels. Swanage Pier is also a valuable marine habitat and an important centre for sub-aqua diving, angling and water sports and provides a regular summer boat service to Poole. The pier is a popular training site for scuba diving because it is one of the few sheltered marine diving sites on the south coast, and it has depths of only 4 metres (13 ft). 🔴SUSȚINE CANALUL/HELP CHANNEL ABONEAZĂ-TE / SUBSCRIBE 🔗
