Some shots from last weekend’s Gowanus Canal Tour with BCUE, led by the very able Daniel Wiley. I suppose that this also serves very well as an addendum to the Bridges of New York City
Hamilton Street Bridge
The Ninth Street Bridge
Smith and Ninth Street station over 9th St, the highest subway station in the city.
The Third St. Bridge.
The wet end of Bond St.
A bridge too far. The Carroll Street Bridge, circa 1880, is the the oldest on the canal. It also was the one that was malfunctioning that day.
