There is no ship in the dock now, but, when there is,
hopper cars will carry salt from the piles to the holds using the track seen here. The blue obelisk is a visual reminder of the past. It marked the site of one of the salt pans so ships would know where to anchor offshore. There were four color-coded obelisks, each associated with a different grade of salt. [2017]
