Paddling the Arthur Kill

Paddling the Arthur Kill toward the boatyard. This photography project took place from 1987 to 2006 with a big gap in visits from 87 till 2000. A lot of changes happened at the yard over that time, many boats were scrapped, and the wave action of the Arthur Kill took its toll on the wood boats. In 87 we were able to get from boat to boat from land, without going in the water, and this is impossible now because there are fewer boats, and the wood on the boats that are there is very weak, and can't support much weight anymore.
