Weymouth Pier, Weymouth, Dorset

A steamer sits alongside the pier, with smaller sailing boats berthed in the foreground. A steam train can also be seen. The passenger landing stage was added to the pier around 1888 by the Great Western Railway. Weymouth Pier (also known as Commercial Pier and originally 'Pile Pier') has a history as both a pleasure pier and a commercial pier. It is thought to have been first built in around 1812.
