Red Hook’s working waterfront, home to boats … and goats
Red Hook’s GBX-Gowanus Bay Terminal is about as industrial a setting you’ll find in New York City’s urban environment.
The terminal is home to deep water marine docks, fuel companies, slag and scrap metal processors, a shipping depot — and goats.
Two adorable goats, named Goatwanus and Bay, scamper around the site gobbling up weeds and keeping the grounds well maintained.
The animals are “a perfect and natural means” of grounds keeping, says John Quadrozzi Jr., the president of the terminal.
