rgilfert, that looks just like our fixed dock, a common design. The three 16" dia tree sections are probably cut from telephone poles and are anchored in the breakwater. The 4X8 frame would have been bolted to the sections of telephone pole. The decking would be screwed down to the frame. Nothing will float away if it has not been dislodged by ice.

Our posts are attached to the frame with carriage bolts and they do sit on the bottom. We remove the end two posts for winter so moving ice does not grab them and damage the dock.
