The East River captures the history of New York's premier waterway.
The river, a source of life for Native Americans, spawned
communities from Brooklyn to Harlem. Its shipyards and docks
projected American enterprise around the world. The waterfront, an
industrial and commercial dynamo, forged a continent. The dreams of
immigrants who arrived and lived on its banks created this nation.
The river's strong currents guarded prisons and hospital
quarantines while keeping secret legends of gold on its bottom. The
sinews of a great city are knitted by more than a score of its
tunnels and bridges. Today, a renaissance draws people to this
river, the heart of New York.
