The fish would then be loaded into other boats and then sailed to the mainland. This avoided the long and tricky passage through Fire Island Inlet, thus saving countless travel hours for the fishermen. The pier remained standing long after

In a 1915 map from the Hyde, E. Belcher, Map
Company of Brooklyn, Lonelyville is also listed as "Fire Island Estates" and the pier appears to have been in place at that time as well as the railroad track for the Fire Island Fishing Company. The
