‘MacMillan Wharf’ is the successor to the ‘Railroad Wharf’, which was built in 1873. After freight traffic to the water was stopped, the ‘MacMillan Wharf/Pier’ was built as a separate structure parallel to the old pier between 1955 and 1957. During construction, the ‘Railroad Wharf’ was demolished.
The history of the ‘MacMillan Wharf’ is comprehensively documented on a website:

Vandring

MacMillan Pier, named after Arctic explorer Donald Baxter MacMillan, is a landmark in Provincetown and serves as a transportation hub with ferry services connecting to Boston, Plymouth, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket. Originally built for the fishing industry, it now hosts commercial fishing vessels, charter boats, whale watches, and excursion cruises, contributing to the local economy. Beyond its practical functions, there are small shops and galleries that line the pier, all while providing stunning views of Provincetown Harbor.
