As a largely industrial waterway, the Harlem River has few access-points for boats, aside from
the handfull of the local college crew teams and boathouses...

This is what's left of the Flotilla Boat Club

At the far-northern tip of Manhattan, just south of The Bronx, which lies directly across the river

And down to the waterfront and dock area

Urban Canada Geese

Yet the yacht traffic continues, despite the passing of Flotilla

A few checks found inside the structure give a vague time-frame. They read like a list of defunct
NYC institutions, also... U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla, the New York Telephone Company,
and Chase Manhattan Bank... though I think the Manhattan Savings Bank is still around

New York City, NY...
