In the years between 1890 and 1895 the City supplied, supporting remarkable economic efforts, the first extension of the pier for a length of 75 yards besides the pier.

Necessary extension for a greater protection of the ships against the sea storms. 

In that new feature the French guns carried by the Napoleonic General Masséna in the year 1800 were threaded into the pier and best used like mooring cleats.

Some of them are still on place today: all the children of Camogli for generations played to skip up the cannons, challenging from the lowest to highest. 

A pair of these guns, recovered during the several pier restorations, has been replaced on gun carriages and put on Columbus Square to continue the joy of the children.

Up to right of the picture there is the building constructed by the then most important Italian Shipowner Bozzo called "u Sanrocchin" and is also visible from seaside the small house also seen in the previous photo.

On the cliff where now is the Restaurant Rosa, at the picture's time still not constructed, there grew a spot of shrubs.

Behind them, in place of the spot of holm oaks there will be built, forty years later, the House of the Sailor's Rest entitled to the camogliese Admiral "Giovanni Bettolo", elected Minister of the Italian Navy one year after this picture was made.
