Does anybody have any photos or info about this yard in South Norwalk? It was located off the Danbury line by where the Maritime Aquarium is. Thanks Mike.

Dock yard was dismantled around the same time the Maritime Center was built. The lower yard was removed in 1989.

Wow thanks, great photos :-) . I do rember seeing this yard before it was dismantled. There is now a park and a condo on this site. The bike trail looks like it follows some of the former tracks. At low tide the dock pilings are visible as well as a wooden box type structure.
