Graves of Arthur Kill: the Documentary

This piece of private property along Staten Island has intrigued many, inspired some.

Who knew that water and oxidizing metal or decaying wooden structure could have such beauty? 

It evokes feelings of mystery,  mortality, and …

more.  Some people photograph it, some paint it . . . .  Gary Kane and I filmed the marine scrapyard in the summer of 2011, and we are grateful to DONJON Marine Company for permission to do so.

Some people call it an accidental maritime museum and think history;  others feel only poetry or visual art.   

Some see machines, and others  . . .  magic.

Some vessels there are snipped up, harvested  . . . if you will, whereas

others just dissolve.

In the foto above, it’s Gary Kane, the producer, camera operator, and editor of this project and others.  Gary and I offer our 30-minute documentary film here for $11.99.  Click here to watch a trailer.

We also welcome invitations to show the documentary.  Email me with the invitation.
