blackball Stedman's Landing Established in 1852 and used as a community wharf until destroyed by the 1916 hurricane. The Wharf was an important factor in the life of the Montrose community. Located in an inward curve of Mobile Bay, the warf was quite long because it had to reach the natural deep water traveled by bay boats along the Eastern Shore, The wharf began at the foot of Sibly Street in Montrose Alabama, where the bluff was about 50 feet high requiring a gradual slope downward. The slope allowed the freight car to go down the wharf by its own momentum on wooden tracks. This was a flat car for general use with portable sides used for certain commodities such as pottery. The return trip up the wharf with loaded cart was pulled by mule or ox. lumis Stedmans Landing

pete My great-grandmother would thank you for this. She was one of the first to live in the Red Gully Creek area. She was always telling me the history of Montrose. She even gave my brother and I a copy of the Montrose history book. Thanks for the info on the peir. You do have to watch out for the old pilings if your sailing close (300yd) to the beach.
