Welcome Guest!
City Histories / Manhattan Waterfront - ca 1938



Every New Yorker should see this film! Working sailing vessels in New York harbor? Schooners from as far away as Nova Scotia unloading at the Fulton Fish Market? The boat those two children were "born on" (at the 2:20 mark) was likely an Erie Canal barge wintering over at New York (note the low cabin for the Eries famous "low bridges", and the cold-weather clothing on the children). Tugboats, slums, The Triborough Bridge and much, much more.
