According to Microsoft Streets & Trips, the street running onto the first of these from the south-southeast is named "Ferry Road." This suggests that the squarish fill was formerly a ferry landing. It is almost directly across the estuary from New Castle.

Also, there is a mile-long jetty extending into Delaware slightly upriver from this point. See

closer examination of the jersey shore within the 12mile circle has turned up at least half a dozen additional tongues of transdelawarean delaware

all apparently involving backfill &or pier projections
