our neighboring rivers, bays, sounds, and
harbors. From the earliest mapping reflecting
Verazzano's brief visit to gloriously decorative

centuries-old perspective. We are brought
up to date with maps and text exploring growing
environmental concern for this harbor, and
the river that continuously enriches it. From
