Breakwater

The breakwater had no effect against the tsunami.

A young couple were watching the sunset from the breakwater.

A long breakwater was built, along with piers and docking terminals.

[…]there is a channel, some three miles wide between the city and the mainland, and some mile and a half wide between it and the sandy breakwater called the Lido, which divides the lagoon from the Adriatic,

But there's a pier or breakwater runs out into the sea just here, which we could defend longer than anything else, like Horatius and his bridge.

Using the countless tons of rock from the cliff-face, supplemented by much more from inland, they threw out a huge breakwater, 2,000 ft. long and 80 ft. high, roughly at right angles to the quay, so forming an almost completely sheltered corner. Fifty years later, this massive mole is still standing up to the worst that the Irish Sea can do.

They sailed around a breakwater that hadn't existed on Peregrine's last trip and tied in at the moorage.
