Brooklyn boaters say prime sailing area at risk
New marina in Brooklyn Bridge Park days from opening
Brooklyn boaters are up in arms over a maritime company’s push to install a barge mooring in New York Harbor close to the site of a new marina in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
The New York State Marine Highway Transportation Company, based in Troy, New York, wants to install a commercial mooring in the shallow Bay Ridge Flats.
The Bay Ridge Flats stretch along the Sunset Park waterfront, starting off Red Hook at the northern end.
