Description

Dolphins are steel reinforced concrete structures that surround piers or bridge legs. They are designed to absorb collision if a ship hits a bridge or pier. The Key Bridge in Baltimore has dolphins, but they are around 100 meters away, failing to prevent a container ship colliding with the bridge, leading to its collapse.
