Brooklyn Waterfront Past & Present

Tour 8 miles of Brooklyn’s waterfront industry-past and present–from Newtown Creek to Sunset Park.

From Newtown Creek through Sunset Park, the 8 miles of Brooklyn shore facing the Harbor’s Upper Bay were once filled with manufacturing, shipping, and commerce. Though apartment towers and landscaped parks now capture attention, Brooklyn still retains active trade and maritime business.

Join Working Harbor Committee for a tour of Brooklyn waterfront industry, past and present. Highlights include Brooklyn Navy Yard, the city’s new waterfront recycling facility at Gowanus Bay, and the working rail-to-barge connection at Brooklyn Army Terminal.

The 2-hour, fully narrated boat tour departs at 6:00 p.m. sharp from Pier 11 Wall Street in Manhattan located on South St. between Wall St. & Gouveneur Lane on Thurs. 15 Sept.

Boarding begins at 5:30 pm. Snack bar on board.
