The waterways around New York have been used for marine transportation for 300 years and are replete with the remnants of old piers, docks, and other marine structures. Most were erected on pilings sunk into the river bed and never removed. Mark's photo is a perfect example of the hazards that await any imprudent boater who ventures too close to shore without a chart or some other form of local knowledge. The pilings and dead heads shown would be invisible at high tide but might do a lot of damage if the boat sinks down on them as the tide recedes. Another example of the utility of photography. It's not just for decoration. If any Leica toting boaters want a PDF copy of the current edition of the Hudson River Cruising Guide, I'll be happy to send it to them.
