Overlooks with Etched Photos of Historic Georgetown

Georgetown’s once thriving commercial waterfront lined with wharfs and sea-going vessels and later industrial plants is captured by three large photo-etched panels on three overlooks.  The material shown below is an artist’s rendering of the etched photos.

While the granite slabs with the etched photos are installed in the park, they are currently covered up with protective rubber blankets and bricks to prevent further skate board damage while skate board deterrents can be installed.  For obvious reasons, skate boards should NOT be used except on paved pathways.

Overlook #1 is of the Port of Georgetown – 1870-1970
