A gristmill, sawmill, or other factory with a waterwheel powered by tide water.
Located within a bay or inlet along a coastal area of an ocean. A very unreliable mode of power, with tides running in cycles of about 12 hours. A waterwheel could be used only after the tide receded after hightide until the tide began to return after low tide. Working time of about 3 to 4 hours, if experiencing a coastal storm the mill would be shut down to prevent damage to the waterwheel.
