#MapMondays 1930 plan to fill New York Harbor with landfill! The proposal by T. Kennard Thomson was originally published in 1911 in Popular Science and would have filled the entire East River with landfill in addition to creating new peninsulas off of Staten Island, Bayonne and Sandy Hook, totaling fifty square miles! With the East River gone, Thomson proposed connecting the Long Island Sound back to the harbor by digging a new channel from Flushing through Brooklyn. Thomson revised the plan in 1930 (seen above), naming the new landfill City of New Manhattan, half of which would be in the state of New Jersey, separated by the extension of Broadway which would be a grand boulevard over railroad tracks flowing into a tunnel to Staten Island. This grand boulevard would be four miles long and three levels high, with trains, automobiles, and airplane landings! Tunnels would also go from Sunset Park to Bayonne, Red Hook to Jersey City, and Cobble Hill to Jersey City. #redhook #jerseycity #cobblehill #manhattan #nychistory #urbanism #longislandcity #queensny #statenisland #bayonne #eastriver #popularmechanics #civilengineering #brooklyn #dumbo #brooklynheights #tribreca #nyc #nyharbor #hudsonriver #longislandsound #urbanplanning #lowermanhattan #fidi #nycurbanism (at Governors Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cia2xlcOJP4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All eyes will be on New York Harbor tonight for the July 4th fireworks!  

On your way to the waterfront you may experience Frederick Dana Marsh’s, “Marine Grill Murals”  ca. 1913 at the William Street (2/3) entrance to the Fulton Center transit complex. The series of murals tell the story of the maritime history of New York, and feature the Harbor in another era, when steamships, paddle steamers, and ocean liners created a striking scene.

#MapMondays! "A New Yorker's Idea of the United States of America." This rare satirical map from 1939 was "presented after patient research, as a composite of New Yorker's ideas concerning the United States." We absolutely love this map, which really shines after some close inspection. Thanks to our friend Neil Cohen who owns the original copy and shared it with us. Neil wrote the amazing children's book @AmericanGargoyles, which we are looking forward to carrying (signed copies) on our website later this month, along with some fun giveaways of vintage NYC ephemera. Does this 1939 NYers view of the U.S. still hold true? 🔥Last call for our Labor Day Sale! 30% OFF all prints with code SUMMERNOTOVER #MapMonday #cartography #brooklyn #1939worldsfair #nyc #queens #statenisland #thebronx #manhattan #nychistory #nyhistory #skyscraper #skyline #brooklynhistory #longisland #yankeestadium #cityhall #nyharbor #upstateny #upstatenewyork #urbanism #urbanhisory #nycurbanism (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B17NissnsUx/?igshid=1vnryytl781yx
