It had originally been built by the town; but the various storekeepers were most benefited by the wharf, for their freight came by water for more than half of the year. Walky Dexter started the subscription among the merchants for the dock repairs. He subscribed a fair sum himself, too, for he was the principal teamster in Poketown.
