I meant more the anchorage (is that the right word?) ... not the old existing piers that we see but re-using the already furnished pier caps above the water line. I'm not an engineer so I'm not sure about the terminology or the feasibility but it seems reasonable to think you wouldn't actually have to completely build brand new connections to the river/harbor floor.,
