CPR Pier D
Pier D was a pier on the waterfront of Vancouver, Canada, built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was extended in 1916, with CPR committing $700,000 to the project, including $150,000 in what was described as "the largest piling contract ever given on the Pacific coast".[1][2]
The pier was burned to the ground on July 27, 1938, with losses assessed at $1,000,000.[3]
