August 3rd, 1973 — There is news today that the WW2 seaplane wharf at Jericho Beach will be demolished later this year. The three buildings shown on the wharf in this circa 1970 photograph are long gone as are the others on the seaplane base except the building top centre which is now the Jericho Sailing Club. Reasons for demolishing the wharf are not really known except that it is in disrepair. This picture was taken from the Goodyear blimp.
