The pier and surrounding area have always been heavily utilized by fishermen, commercial and recreational, and also by the public who enjoy watching the boats come and go all day long. During the Revolutionary War, British ships frequently sailed through the natural breachway and anchored there. After the war, the breachway became a great asset to the farmers in the area who brought their crops by wagon to a shoreline warehouse in the region. As you can see, from the 1800's and on through the years, the Galilee area has been a very valuable resource and will continue to remain so for some time to come.
