As seen from the Promenade, a klatch (is that the right plural noun?) of Kayaks was on the water between Piers 1 and 2 this morning.

A showy display of pink and purple blossoms is found by the Montague Street entrance to the Promenade. Thanks go to Jonathan Landsman and the Promenade Partners. (Thanks also to AAR for answering your horticulturally challenged correspondent’s question: “What kind of flowers are these?”)

Runners pound the pavement as M/V Ambassador, a self-unloading dry bulk cargo ship, passes under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, heading seaward after discharging a cargo of Canadian crushed stone at Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Clipper City is a 1984 replica of an 1854 vintage schooner built to haul cargo on the Great Lakes. This is her second summer taking passengers on cruises in New York Harbor, departing from Pier 17 at South Street Seaport. She can often be seen from the Promenade (from which the above photo was taken today) while leaving or approaching her dock.
Cruises on Clipper City can be booked through Manhattan by Sail’s website, which also shows the daily sailing schedule, or by calling 212-619-0907. Fares start at $39 for adults, $35 for seniors, and $17 for children under 12.

Park Progress Special: Pier 6 Webcam
The developer of One Brooklyn Bridge Park/360 Furman has installed a webcam on the roof, trained on Pier 6: see here. It updates every few minutes, and you can use the calendar at the left of the screen to look back at an earlier phase of construction. Under the calendar is a zoom control that lets you get a closer look at whatever location you wish. For a real treat, click the “Time Lapse” button near the top of the screen, and watch almost a year’s worth of work, and a couple of snowstorms, flash by in about thirty seconds.
