Bollards and Mooring Rings: Left in Place, Unmoved

A row of cast-iron bollards. They stand along the dock edge at their original spacing, shaped like short, stout mushrooms or double-horned forms. Their surfaces show layers of peeling old paint and rust underneath, and they are large enough to sit on; some are already leaning. Cast-iron mooring rings and iron corner protectors are still embedded in the ground. They have not been repainted or rearranged. Avoid: repainting the bollards in a uniform color, moving them to create a neat arrangement, replacing original pieces with replicas, adding pedestals and interpretive signs around them.

一排鑄鐵的繫船柱。它們沿著碼頭邊緣以原本的間距立著,形狀是粗矮的蘑菇形或雙角形,表面是層層剝落的舊漆與底下的鏽,尺寸大到可以坐;有些已經歪斜。地面上還嵌著鑄鐵的繫纜環與鐵製的邊角護條。它們沒有被重新上漆也沒有被移位排列。避免:把繫船柱重新噴漆成統一顏色、移動它們做成整齊的裝置、用複製品取代原件、在周圍加設基座與解說牌。
