Not sure Nebe - Peg Rock is the name. Maybe Crafty Angler will chime in as he did lots of research on Newport Bass Stands. No doubt a "gentlemans fishing club" of the time. Plenty more iron stubs in the rocks of Newport. At least 20 stands I know of - probably more that i don't know about.
Take a walk into the historic Travers Building on Bellevue Ave and take a peak at the paintings along the walls in the hallways - in one painting you will see what the actual Peg Rock stand looked like in its original state.
I agree.. Peg is a fine specimen. I can only think of the bass stand at Beavertail that is in anywhere close to that good a shape. It makes me wonder if Peg rock was a newer one.
It amazes me how many of them are around if you look, I have found a few in places where, at least as far as I know, there were never any bass clubs. Sometimes I wonder if some of them were put in by the military for purposes other than fishing? Anyone know if this might be true?
