As they neared the shore, a landing-stage, or low jetty, of sunk piles disengaged itself from the mist.

The Blue Pavilions |Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
Mathurin descended the sloping meadow; the darkness was so dense that he had to turn back twice before he found the landing-stage.

Autumn Glory |Ren Bazin
Tom knew where the old pier stood, and brought his boat skilfully up to the landing-stage.

Peter Cotterell's Treasure |Rupert Sargent Holland
Oh, it, is magnificent on the sea, there is such a feeling of being alive in sailing—here we are at the landing-stage!

Mogens and Other Stories |Jens Peter Jacobsen

The Argo touched the landing-stage, and Fitzhugh and his friend went out on the pier.
