#5- McKinley Pier

There are many people here on the McKinley Pier; they are catching huge fish, chatting, holding hands. The waves from Lake Michigan are gentle in the deep water here.

The pier is clad in a sawtooth of 1/2-inch steel plate. Each plate covers the outside of one "tooth" of the pier and interlocks with the next. The joints are visible from the top of the pier. The microphones were lowered down each side of one "tooth."
