Did a Wikipedia on this and refers to a Pier or a Wharf... We dont have anything that big out here on the canal... Piers refer to long narrow docks that extend out to the water on the great lakes...We never use the word Wharf on Fresh Water..
We have Marinas and Boat centers and we have ports... Oddly even places that are a hundred miles inland have port in there name like Willamsport PA
