North Brother Island
The little-known North Brother Island lies in the East River off the south shore of the borough of the Bronx. At 19.3 acres in size, North Brother Island is currently one of the largest segments of city-managed greenery in the South Bronx. Due in part to a lack of open space access in the area and to the immense historic and ecological significance of the island, various community advocates and political officials are calling for increased human access to the island. However, human access could potentially pose grave conflicts with the current island inhabitants - the hundreds of shorebirds that nest here and call this island home from early spring to late fall.
Forgetting and remembering the Slocum
Monday, October 25, 2004 | Gotham Gazette | Topic: Waterfront
The centennial of the General Slocum disaster provides an opportunity to ask a probing question: how did a disaster which claimed the lives of 1,021 people in the nation's largest metropolis become an all-but-forgotten footnote to history?
The General Slocum disaster
Friday, October 01, 2004 | New York Newsday | Topic: General
As she waited on deck for the excursion steamer General Slocum to leave lower Manhattan for a Long Island picnic grove, Mrs. Philip Straub had a premonition of disaster. Just before the gangway was removed, she rushed ashore. A man she confided her fears to grabbed his wife and five children and followed. It was a wise decision.
Dinner With Typhoid Mary
Friday, October 01, 2004 | New York Newsday | Topic: General
Like millions before and since, Mary Mallon came to this country from Ireland, seeking a better life. Instead, she was forced by public health officials to live for a total of 26 years on a tiny island in the East River, isolated from and shunned by her fellow humans. And while she was not the only one of her kind, her name became synonymous with disease and death.
She was Typhoid Mary, and her story really begins on Long Island.
This spot's for the birds
Thursday, October 17, 2002 | Daily Plant (NYC Parks) | Topic: Environment
Situated on the East River between the Bronx and Queens, North and South Brother Islands have been growing in popularity since the Seventies with no end in sight. These two islands are regularly filled with diverse crowds from far and wide who arrive in large groups in search of food, conversation, and that special "someone." Did I mention all these visitors are birds?
