General Description. The iron wharf at Fort Monroe, Va., was built in 1888-89, in accordance with the provisions of Acts of Congress approved August 4th, 1886, and August 10th, 1888. The wharf is located on the site of an old wooden wharf formerly known as the “Baltimore Wharf,” and at the terminus of the roadway passing in front of the Hygeia Hotel.
