Wharves is the plural of wharf, a structure built along the shore where ships can dock to load and unload cargo or passengers.
The alternative plural wharfs is also acceptable, though wharves remains more traditional.
The old wharves had fallen into disrepair.
A waterfront district with multiple wharves often becomes a commercial hub, and many historic wharves have been converted into restaurants, shops, or tourist attractions.
