| Against the rock wall above the original concrete foundation of the old engine room, and below the tower, a group led by Hannah and Giovanni on one Project week did the digging out of soil, and replacement with crushed rock. . | This allowed the creation of a natural looking corner for the old historic engine room equipment. In this photo Hannah is on the bucket brigade carrying gravel. |
Some of the artifacts that had accumulated by 2005. | In 2006, the area had taken on a life of its own |

| Sylvia and Alex Chan examine the old engine parts. | Looking straight down from the tower on the east side, one can see the concrete pathway which we believe went to the blacksmith shop. | In the past, many old pieces of equipment were simply pushed over the side. | In 2006,the old boiler which lay rusting in the intertidal zone for many years was starting to break up. |

 |
 |
| The storms in the winter of 2006 dispersed the parts of the boiler | These pieces which are now small enough to move will be transferred to the collecting area. | The other end of the boiler. This was carried up to shore on February 12, 2007 by members of the racerocks.com activity.See below. | The hurricane in December 2006 moved rocks exposing more rubble below the energy building. |
