You were at Kilkenny!
Not only is the wood strong enough but how it it attached to the dock...
It almost seems like more work by the marina owner to install those versus just buying cleats!
Greetings,
Mr. SoH. You have to experience Kilkeeny Creek Marina to fully appreciate it. Interesting spot, to say the least...

Yet you could bolt a beefy cleat to a similarly sized deck board and nobody bats an eye that a handful of nails are holding the deck board to the dock joists. At least the board is bolted to the dock joists.
The charts show a launch ramp at Kilkenny. There isn't. The bank is too steep.
Instead the marina runs a pair of winches. A dollar a foot covers a launch and retrieval.
Boat goes into the dock, is lifted, moved in, back the trailer under it, drop it and tie it down, and off you go.
They were doing a robust business too!
We have bull rails everywhere...must be because we’re located where logging is being done and 4x4’s were relatively cheap back in the day, and because they would keep drunk loggers from falling off the docks.
That line is probably attached to a 2 million yacht
