There is (are) Williamstown Pier(s). Most are within the Transfields
Shipyards and are not accessible to the general public. The station itself
is still there, just a platform, but its reason for existence was to serve
the dockyards and was abolished in the late 80's I believe. The overhead has
already been removed. The more unfortunate loss was the Brittania Hotel
across the road from the station being closed before I got the chance to at
least have a drink there.
