Tetrapods in Crescent City Harbor - line the jetty/breakwater and look like giant jacks. I thought they were pretty cool - they're what sticking up in the distance.
"These giant jacks are used to protect harbors from damaging currents. As waves hit the tetrapods, the force of the water is dissipated by the curve of the legs. There are 1630 tetrapods on the ocean side of the Crescent City breakwater. There are 1900
tetrapods and 768 steel reinforced dolos on the newer leg of the jetty."
A 25-ton tetrapod was on display near Front Street
and moved nearly three feet off of a pedestal by the
force of the March 28, 1964 Tsunami.
Crazy stuff!
