NGS recovery information

Descriptive text

Recovered in good condition. The light poles have changed. The disk is northeast of the fifth light pole, counting from the north end of the pier.

Narrative and photographs

We found this disk easily while on our benchmark hunt along the White Street Pier. The original NGS description refers to light poles, which have changed since 1982, when that description was written. The disk is now northeast of the fifth light pole from the north end of the pier. The disk shows some corrosion, but the designation and date are still easily legible.
