 A new wooden northern jetty was added in 1872 which allowed the removal of the original western landing place . Another jetty was built on the south west corner in 1898 which reached deep water even at low tide , thus allowing steamers to use the pier at all states of the tide . This was damaged in a gale in 1903 , and although it was rebuilt in 1909 , it closed in 1916 and was dismantled in 1923 . The northern jetty had also been damaged in the 1903 storm but was replaced by the present steel structure in 1905 .
