Queen's Pier, Ramsey

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Queen's_Pier,_Ramsey an entity of type: SpatialThing

Queen's Pier, Ramsey is 2,241 feet (683 metres) long and was built for the Isle of Man Harbour Board for the sum of £40,752 (about £4.3 million in today's terms) by Head Wrightson of Stockton-on-Tees, England. The designer was Sir John Coode, who later became president of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Construction work began in 1882 and the pier was officially opened on 22 July 1886 by Rowley Hill, Bishop of Sodor and Man, though it had already been in use for about one year whilst being finished. The pier was originally intended as a landing stage to allow Steam Packet ships to pick up or discharge passengers when the tide was low. At low water spring tides one could expect about 16 ft (5 m) at the pier head, enough for ships of about 250 ft (75 m) in length to pick up their passeng rdf:langString
