Jetty
The term jetty, derived from the
French jetée, and therefore signifying something thrown out, is applied to a variety of structures employed in
river,
dock, and
maritime works which are generally carried out in pairs from river banks, or in continuation of river channels at their outlets into deep water; or out into docks, and outside their entrances; or for forming
basins along the sea-coast for
ports in tideless seas. The forms and construction of these jetties are as varied as their uses; for though they invariably extend out into water, and serve either for directing a
current or for accommodating vessels, they are sometimes formed of high open timber-work, sometimes of low solid projections, and occasionally only differ from
breakwaters in their object .

Jetée (architecture)
La jetée est une construction s'avançant dans la mer, un lac, un fleuve et dont le but principal est de servir à l'embarquement et au débarquement des
cargaisons ou des passagers. Elle peut être constituée de matériaux divers. Dans les ports de mer, la jetée principale supportait généralement un
phare.
