Silent Beaches, Untold Stories: New York City's Forgotten Waterfront

Marie Lorenz's 2005 photograph, "Coney Island Creek" from the Tide and Current Taxi project, is reproduced from Silent Beaches, Untold Stories: New York City's Forgotten Waterfront, launching tomorrow at Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn. Once known as Gravesend Creek, author and editor Elizabeth Albert writes, Coney Island Creek is home to "an assortment of ghost ships, rotting piers, and a small stranded submarine. One comes across this strange and haunting sight by walking through a thicket at the southern edge of the little-used Calvert Vaux Park. It was reported that Vaux, the celebrated co-designer of Central Park, became depressed late in life from lack of appreciation of his work. On a foggy evening in November 1895, he visited his son, who lived in the area, went for a walk along Coney Island Creek, and was later found floating in the water. It is unknown whether he took his own life or, disoriented in the fog, lost his balance. Coney Island Creek is the only remaining creek in the vicinity that was not filled in as Brooklyn developed."
