See that empty space way up there?
It’s about to change. Ten million dollars worth of structure is about to rise. Nine of the 18 pieces have arrived in the sixth boro aka the harbor of NYC.
Just before noon today,
the cargo turned into the Kill Van Kull, squired in
by DonJon Marine’s
Atlantic Salvor, passing directly in front of the building the antenna soon will adorn.
As I said, watch that open space and when the antenna is planted there,
remember Atlantic Salvor and Witte barge 1407.
All fotos this morning by Will Van Dorp, who wonders how these segments will be transported to lower Manhattan.

Doubtless by truck, clogging the GW bridge and city streets. Certainly Manhattan island has no need of docks that actual vessels could use for mooring, or discharge of cargo. Only parks, restaurants, etc. need be maintained.

I’m shocked, shocked to hear that a Manhattan marine facility was used for (gulp) marine purposes! Alert the Mayor!

A Manhattan marine facility. A Manhattan marine facility. It seems so strange, so oxymoron-like, like ‘rapid transit’, ‘airline schedule’, ‘conventional wisdom,’ ‘adult male.’
Ok ok, i take the last one back.
