Build the raft on Pier Beach
In exchange for permission to build the Brighton Pier, the builders were supposed to demolish the first pier, The Royal Suspension Chain Pier, which had fallen into a state of disrepair. However, before they could do so, a great winter storm struck and destroyed most of the pier. SOURCE: Wikipedia
A ship would not be 'anchored' at a pier in the nautical sense of anchoring. It would be 'tied' with hawsers (large ropes) to cleats on the pier.
You have to build a raft. This can only be built at Pier Beach, if you have the skills and resources. Then you move on and at Airplane Island's Pier Beach, you build a canoe. These boats get steadily bigger and stronger as you progress.
The answer is as wide open as the question. It depends on the problem, the extent of the problem and the type of structure and corresponding landscaping. If you have a residence that is single story with a shallow foundation the average cost of steel piering would be $650 per pier. If you have a residence that is two story with a basement the average cost of steel piering would be $1,500 per pier. If you have a commercial structure the job would need to be quoted due to construction techniques and many variables to must be determined with a physical visit.

A pier cabinet is so named because the original design (Georgian) was to fit the column between floor ceiling windows. Pier mirrors the elongated decorative mirrors usually gilt would fit above these pier cabinets.

Yes, entry to the pier is at no cost. The rides, movie theatre, cruises and food cost money. There are some museums (Stained Glass!) that are free of charge as well. You can also find more information on http://www.navypierinchicago.com Have fun!
