Semaphore Jetty |
| Registered Name |
Semaphore Pier |
| Significance |
The Semaphore Jetty was opened in 1860 and while it is unlikely that any of the original fabric remains, the Jetty as extended, rebuilt and then shortened over the years is on the original site and was constructed to serve the pilots, customs officers and other staff who served the vessels at the Semaphore Anchorage in Largs Bay, prior to the opening of Port Adelaide's Outer Harbor in 1908.
Its significance derives from that role, and its subsequent focus for recreation, as Semaphore became one of the key metropolitan seaside resorts, especially in the years following the opening of the Semaphore Railway line (1878). That role continued up until the late 1960s, by which time the widespread use of cars post World War Two had made more distant recreational sites readily accessible and decreased the appeal of Semaphore.
