A pilot boat sank and two other vessels were seriously damaged when a pier collapsed in Eastport, Maine. Video cameras captured roughly half of the 400-foot pier crashing into the harbor at 0230 on Dec. 4, 2014. The caretaker of an excursion vessel tied up along the pier was treated for a leg injury. The 400-foot-long-by-100-foot-wide L-shaped pier was made from interlocking steel pilings, filled with rock and debris and topped with an asphalt deck. It was built in the 1960s and expanded in the 1980s.
