Hudson River.
In the fall of 2015, students in the New School for Drama's intermediate playwriting class wrote a wish, a stone, or a missive, put it in a plastic tube, and chucked it into the Hudson where Bank Street meets the river. What do these objects long for, release, or need to say? Where will their scribing surface?
New York City.
Some neighborhoods that were not in mandatory evacuation zones, like Gerritson Beach and Canarsie, Brooklyn, were unexpectedly flooded, too.
New York City.
During Hurricane Sandy, many New Yorkers discovered that their love affair with the city’s waterfront could become a battle. Lives, beaches, homes, cars, photo albums, beloved tokens and much more were lost to the water. We would love to share your stories of objects lost or saved; keep them coming.
Lower New York Bay.
We don’t expect to see deer in New York City, let alone in the waterways of New York. But in October 2011, three frantic deer were found at the foot of the Verrazano Bridge in Brooklyn. Naturally strong swimmers, the deer likely swam over from Staten Island, but the circumstances of their watery journey are suspicious: one deer’s hind legs were bound with twine.
Bronx River.
The French filmmakers who accompanied a crew of researchers studying baby eels in the Bronx River wondered if the researchers had planted this piece of urban naturalism; they hadn’t. The gun was dumped in the River after a shooting. Read the story of its discovery here.
Gowanus Canal.
In 2003, an injured harp seal made its way into the Gowanus Canal and was nursed back to health with the help of the Riverhead Foundation. Later that year, a sister-seal known as Tama-Chan traveled from her home in Japan to visit Gowanda. Really.

New York Harbor.
Listen to David’s story about a mysterious find on a Staten Island beach, and then invent your own.
New York Harbor.
Just when we thought it was safe to go in the water, we found out about these: anti-swimmer sonar systems used by the U.S. Coast Guard to conduct periodic sweeps of the New York Harbor. You can swim, but you can’t hide!
Hudson River.
The Garden State North Reef is constructed, in part, with 250 Redbird subway cars built in the 1960s—now home to starfish and white coral.
Dead Horse Bay.
From the dinner table to the tides to the shore.
Hudson River.
In honor of the puzzle's 40th birthday on July 11, 2014, a tugboat towed a huge, inflatable Rubik's Cube down the Hudson River. What memories does it trigger? Watch its trip here.
