Dead
Horse Bay is named for the bones that still wash up there,
remnants from horse rendering plants on what
was once Barren Island. From the 1850s through the 1920s, when horses
were the cars clogging the streets of New York, their carcasses were
used to manufacture glue and fertilizer, and the boiled bones were
dumped in the bay. In 1926, the waters surrounding Barren
Island were filled in with sand, coal and garbage to make Floyd Bennett
Field, and in the 1950s, the cap on a twenty year old garbage dump
burst, scattering the sand with eras of waste. Today the beach is
littered with toys, vintage bottles, horse bones, and a slew of wacky
trash from eras past.
Luckily, we’re into that kind of thing. Underwater New York is a
project that seeks to inspire creative engagement with the landscape
submerged beneath the waters surrounding New York City. Since our launch
last October, more than
forty artists, writers and musicians have contributed work inspired by
our
ever-growing list of underwater objects and phenomena. Dead Horse Bay
is full of stuff just begging for stories - come explore the beach with
us on Obscura Day, and see what our findings can inspire!
DETAILS AND DIRECTIONS
Meetup Time: 2 pm
Getting there by Public Transportation: Take the #2 Train to the last stop, Flatbush Avenue/Brooklyn College.
Come upstairs and transfer to the Q35 Bus, which stops right in front
of the Payless Shoe Store. (Note that other buses also stop there!)
Tell the driver that you will be getting off at “the last stop before
the bridge.”
Getting there by Car: Take the Belt Parkway or another route to Flatbush Avenue, heading out
towards Rockaway. Just before the toll plaza for the Gil Hodges
Memorial Bridge, make a left onto Aviation Road and you will come to
the parking area.
Meet
outside the Park Ranger's office near the Floyd Bennett Field parking
lot on Aviation Road, just off Flatbush.
