Navy Pier Fire

Today’s picture comes to us thanks to Chris C. who was an eyewitness to last winter’s fire at the Navy Pier in Solomons.   The wooden pier burned for hours.  Above you can see the view from just south of the Governor Thomas Johnson bridge.  We have a close up below in which you can see to the right that there’s a ship docked at the pier.   That boat,which caught on fire but was not destroyed,was later towed to the open water.

    When we lived in Santa Barbara the wharf burned, and that was hard to fight because the wooden planks had been soaked in creosote. Did that contribute to this fire?

    Yes, absolutely it did. In fact I meant to mention that.
