The Narrows.

 New Yorkers are used to seeing these creatures on the subway tracks while they’re waiting for a train. Next time you’re near a wharf, take a look. Surprise!

The Narrows.

This fort, built by Robert E. Lee, was once a Civil War Confederate Prison. Rebuilt after a catastrophic fire in 1868, the fort was ultimately destroyed in 1960 with the construction of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
