A few years after Hurricane Carol, the Chepiwanoxet Marina was built along the south shore of the island bordering the Gallaudet wood shore wall, and using a large single floor surviving building for boat inside winter storage. Its wood piers and floating docks pointed south into Greenwich Cove, a few wood piles remain. This was the first marina in Rhode Island, unlike most others was not converted from a boatyard, but built specifically for pleasure craft. The marina lasted less than 10 years.
