DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A 1:75-scale undistorted hydraulic model reproducing Port Washington Harbor, approximately 2600 ft of shoreline on each side of the harbor, and sufficient offshore area in Lake Michigan to permit generation of the required test waves was used to investigate the design of certain proposed improvements with respect to wave action. The proposed improvement plan consisted of (a) new rubble-mound breakwaters within the existing harbor aggregating about 1330 ft in length and arranged to form a protected harbor of approximately 13.5 acres; (b) a 10-ft-deep, 150-ft-wide entrance channel; (c) a 10-ft-deep anchorage-maneuvering area about 3.5 acres in extent; (d) an 8-ft-deep, 72-ft-wide launching ramp channel extending from the anchorage-manuevering area to a launching ramp; (e) a 500-ft-long wave absorber adjacent to the existing north breakwater; and (f) safety railings on the new breakwaters. A 50-ft-long wave generator, a centrifugal pump and flow meter, and an Automated Data Acquisition and Control System were utilized in model operation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Port Washington is a picturesque community on the shores of Lake Michigan, just a short drive north of Milwaukee. It celebrates its 175th birthday in September 2010. This book is a vivid description of the city's history, from the Native Americans who lived on these shores when the voyageurs first arrived, through the birth of a thriving and industrious community of immigrants who settled here after leaving Germany and Luxembourg. The pages touch on the early years of industry, focusing on the maritime heritage of Port Washington, and give the reader a wonderful photographic tour of what Port Washington was like over 100 years ago. Some of these photographs have never before been published and some of the buildings no longer exist, which makes this book a treasure trove of historic images to be enjoyed by many generations.
