Buoy at North Brother Island - 20150707-110407-_D3D8177.jpg

Between the Brother Islands

Current was still with us going north even though we had an hour delay. We saw our Speed over Ground mostly 8.5 to 9.0 knots but did see even 11.0 knots.

In the background are the ruins of Riverside Hospital (established as a smallpox hospital), which moved from Roosevelt Island (then Blackwell's Island) in 1885. This was home to Typhoid Mary (Mary Mallon) for over two decades. It has also served as housing for WWII veteran students and a drug rehabilitation center, which was closed in the early 1960s. Now it's a bird sanctuary and the buildings are nearing collapse.
