Coming Ashore at Turret Point
Turret Point. Notice how rocky the beach is. They had a sort of portable step-stool placed in the water in the front of the boat so (usually) you did not have to jump down onto the beach. The sea was pretty smooth when this photo was taken. Later, the waves began coming in pretty good. The waves were high enought so boats would be un-beached by each wave. People had to enter and leave the boats sort of between waves.
This may have been one of the places we would not have been permitted to land at if there had been more than 200 passengers able to go ashore.
This was a wet landing. When the waves picked up later, it became a very wet landing for some people.
