Here you see the tide lowering in the northwestern half of Conary Cove, where the historic boat house sits rockbound. This iconic scene was different in the last Century. The red structure was built in 1924 as a white boat house that eventually sprouted a pier into the Cove. In the 1940’s the second owner of the property kept more than his boat there. He reportedly moored his seaplane in this part of the Cove and often taxied it up onto a wooden platform on the rocky beach and parked it there. Things were a lot nosier then.
There has been no boat in the boathouse or seaplane in the Cove for many years. The current owners maintain the structure for its historical significance and ongoing utility as a workshop and storage space, according to reports.
