Recently sent the following email to geologist and local historian Frank Perry:
Hi Frank - just found your paper, Notes on the History of Wharves at Santa Cruz, California.
Many thanks to you, Barry, Rick and Stan for clearing up the confusion.
I always wondered why that 1870 litho didn't show a third wharf. My
best guess was that the "Gharky" wharf was demolished a few years before
the "Railroad" wharf was built. It never occurred to me that the Gharky
and Powder wharves were the same. I'll link your paper, along with a
correction note, to a couple of my blog posts on Santa Cruz Patch. My
two main goals in blogging were 1) to motivate myself to get more into
the research and, 2) to catch and correct errors by me and others.
Thanks again - Carey

Glad you enjoyed our paper. We had fun researching it and finally setting the record straight.
