The Rockland, Maine Breakwater was built in the 1890s by the United States Army Corps of Engineers out of locally quarried granite. The huge stone blocks were drilled, blasted from the quarry wall, and then placed exactly to form the landmark protective marine structure. Geometry and geology were integral to creating the important structure.
