A place on a river or other navigable water for lading and unlading goods, or for the reception and delivery of passengers... The terminus of a road on a river or other navigable water, for the use of travelers, and the loading and unloading of goods.' Whether it is public or private, depends on the character of the road which leads to it.' Either the bank or wharf to or from which persons or things may go from or to some ■ vessel in the contiguous water: or the yard or open place used for deposit and convenient communication between the land and the water. 2 A road to it is essential to malce it public, unless where it may be used only in connection with transportation by water. Obstructing the road one hundred yards from the landing is not obstructing the landing itself. 2 A landing for loading and unloading boats engaged in the coal trade differs from that of a harbor or place to lay up boats empty or laden.s See Riparian.
