This tiny pier off Bastion Road runs into the canal, and is used as a
launching point for the gondolas.  The dock is made from sturdy timber, and
seems fairly safe to stand on.  Several gondolas are moored under a covered
section to the north, and the dock also runs further east from here.  Dry
land is back to the west.  A small landing for gondolas is right here to the
north.  When a gondola arrives the plank is placed on the landing making
entry into a gondola easy.
