The Stack! - Cordage Park Smokestack Demolition! 4K Drone Experience!

721 views May 20, 2022 An iconic Plymouth, MA landmark is no more after the smokestack at Cordage Park was demolished today. The smokestack was built in 1899 for the Plymouth Cordage Company, which was the world’s leading manufacturer of rope. The 220-foot structure, created with 500,000 bricks, was originally built for the mill’s power plant, but it became so much more. With Cordage Park’s close proximity to Plymouth Harbor, it served as a beacon for sailors and a monument for the thousands of families who were part of the company throughout its existence. The rope used for the rigging on board the USS Constitution (still in use) was manufactured at this factory!
