High Island (Bronx)

High Island est une île privée inhabitée qui fait partie des îles Pelham dans le Bronx, à New York aux États-Unis. Géographie High Island se situe à l'est de l'extrémité nord de City Island entre City Island Harbor et Pelham Bay dans le Long Island Sound. Elle est reliée à City Island par un banc de sable qui émerge à marée très basse, ainsi que par un petit pont privé. Autrefois utilisée comme carrière de pierres puis comme station balnéaire, l'île sert aujourd'hui de support à deux émetteurs et antennes de stations de radio. Histoire High Island était autrefois connue sous le nom de Shark Island en raison des nombreux requins de sable qui nageaient dans les eaux voisines de Pelham Bay. L'île est relativement haute avec une forme semblable à une boule de gomme, faisant ainsi allusion à l'origine de son nom actuel. Elisha King a acheté l'île en 1829 pour extraire des pierres. Au cours des années 1920, la famille Miller a exploité une communauté de chalets de location d'été pouvant loger environ 40 familles. En 1961, l'île est achetée pour être utilisée pour les tours de transmission radio. Depuis 2017, l'île entière ainsi que deux émetteurs, appartiennent à Audacy, Inc. (en) Elle abrite les émetteurs et les tours d'antenne pour WCBS (AM) et WFAN (AM), qui sont propriétés d'Entercom. Auparavant, l'installation WCBS était située sur l'île voisine de Columbia, dans le comté de Westchester, à New York. Le 27 août 1967, un petit avion privé s'est écrasé dans la tour radio, détruisant l'antenne et supprimant WCBS et WNBC, la veille du lancement du format de toutes les nouvelles de WCBS. Les deux stations ont pu emprunter des installations de transmission à proximité pendant environ une semaine, jusqu'à ce qu'une tour de secours puisse être érigée sur High Island. Le remplacement permanent a été construit avec une deuxième tour (plus courte) comme secours d'urgence. La plus haute des tours mesure 167 mètres. La tour la plus petite mesure 91,4 mètres et a été construite en 2001 pour remplacer la tour d'urgence érigée en 1967. La proximité de ces deux stations de radio AM a parfois causé des interférences sur les téléphones et les équipements électroniques à proximité de City Island. High Island n'est qu'une installation de transmission radio AM. Elle n'a pas de studios ou de locataires de tour, à part les deux stations de radio AM. WCBS-AM et WFAN-AM diffusent depuis des studios situés au Hudson Square Broadcast Center à Manhattan. L'île est actuellement inhabitée. Une résidence de gardien à plein temps a été utilisée de 1961 à 2007. Elle est entretenue par les ingénieurs et les entrepreneurs des stations de radio. Les progrès de la technologie de diffusion et de sécurité ont rendu la surveillance à distance à la fois de l'équipement radio et de la propriété physique plus réalisable qu'au cours des années précédentes, où une présence humaine à plein temps était requise.

Chelsea Art Museum

Das Chelsea Art Museum war ein Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst im New Yorker Stadtbezirk Manhattan, zugleich beheimatet es die Jean Miotte Foundation. Es wurde 2002 eröffnet und musste zum 31. Dezember 2011 schließen. Die Ausstellungen des Museums versuchten, zeitgenössische Vorstellungen durch verschiedene Kulturen und Umgebungen sowie soziale und geographische Perspektiven hindurch zu reflektieren. Das Chelsea Art Museum beherbergt Werke, die sich auf unerforschte Dimensionen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts konzentrieren. Auch zeigt es Werke von Künstlern, die bisher mehr in ihren Heimatländern als in den USA gezeigt wurden. Auf den 2800 m² Ausstellungsfläche des 1850 errichteten Gebäudes wurden rund 500 Werke als Dauerausstellung gezeigt. Die Jean Miotte Foundation, in der dritten Etage untergebracht, hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Werk von Jean Miotte (1926–2016) zu archivieren und zu erhalten, sowie Forschungen über das Informel zu unterstützen. Das Museum in direkter Nähe zu den Chelsea Piers, im Stadtteil Chelsea befindet sich 556 West 22nd Street in Manhattan, New York. Das Museum und der zugehörige Museumsladen am bisherigen Standort wurden am 31. Dezember 2011 geschlossen. Weblinks Webpräsenz des Chelsea Art Museum Einzelnachweise
Chelsea Art Museum

The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) was a contemporary art museum located at 556 West 22nd Street on the corner of Eleventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The museum focused on post-war European art. The museum was in a 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) renovated historic building, which was also the location of the Miotte Foundation, which was committed to archiving and protecting the works of Jean Miotte and providing new scholarship and research on L'Art Informel. Rotating selections of Miotte's work were shown at the museum on a regular basis, as are selections from the museum permanent collection, which contains 500 works, including paintings, etchings, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries, and works on paper, primarily focusing on L'Art Informel and Abstract Expressionist artists from Europe and the United States, including Pol Bury, Mimmo Rotella, and Jean-Paul Riopelle. The museum and shop closed by December 31, 2011. The closing followed lengthy financial difficulties and the possible loss of its charter, which eventually led to the sale of the building. References

Woodbury House (Woodbury, New York)

The Woodbury House was the estate of James Watson Webb II. It was built in 1915 by Cross & Cross. It is located in Woodbury, New York. History Site The land where the Woodbury house would eventually get built, used to be farmland that was owned by Piquet and Robbins. When they cashed out in 1913, they sold all 222 acres to James Watson Webb II, at the request of wife, Electra Havemeyer. There, they would commission Cross & Cross to build a 40-room mansion. Louisine Havemeyer and Lila Vanderbilt also contributed to the design of the building. Completed in 1914, the English-style Woodbury house would boast 13 master-sized bedrooms, 13 baths, a reflecting pool, an enclosed rear porch, an upper balcony made up of stone, and indoor toilets. Along the mansion, Webb set aside several acres to use as a farm in order to avoid taxation levied on estate property by the newly formed Nassau County. Other notable features included a duck pond and a deep hollow. It was here that Webb and Havemeyer would raise four children. However, James Watson Webb II would eventually join the US Army, leaving Electra Havemeyer to spend more time at their Vermont house. In 1921, Edward Richmond Tinker would purchase the home and most land after winning the auction with $162,000. Webb would reserve 74 acres for himself. Tinker would use this new property to expand his General Farms & Realty Corporation, in order to distribute poultry to the rest of Long Island. Suburban development By the end of the 1950s, Long Island had exploded in population, and thus became a desired spot for industries. real estate developer Gilbert Tilles would purchase the house and land in 1961, with ideas of turning it into an industrial park, known as Crossways. However, long-time residents of the surrounding area, already troubled by the exponential pace of industrial and residential growth within the Syosset-Woodbury area, strongly opposed the idea. To ensure approval by the Town of Oyster Bay, Tilles would reach a compromise, donating 46 acres for the construction of a new community park, the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park. Usage in the Syosset-Woodbury Community Park Following the opening of the park on Memorial Day weekend, 1964, the mansion would become a community center for chess, billiards, and dancing. However, by the end of the 1980s, the cost of maintaining the Woodbury House, was too much for the Town of Oyster Bay, so they had to retire the place as a community center. Currently, the Woodbury house acts as an athletic storage, as well as a carpentry shop. References
M&T Bank Center

The M&T Bank Center is a multi-purpose venue in Schenectady, New York. Opened in August 2025, the venue is located near Rivers Casino and is home to Union College hockey games and the NY Phoenix of 94x50 League. Event Venue and Community Use In addition to serving as the home rink for Union College's men's and women's ice hockey programs, the M&T Bank Center is designed as a multipurpose event venue intended to support a wide range of community and regional events. The facility is expected to host concerts, family shows, conventions and other entertainment programming. Its location in the Mohawk Harbor district, adjacent to the Rivers Casino and several new residential and commercial developments, positions the venue as a hub for both college athletics and broader public events. The inclusion of flexible seating, modern amenities, and event infrastructure reflects its dual role as a collegiate sports facility and regional entertainment venue. Union Hockey History Since Union restarted its varsity ice hockey program in 1975, the team had one home: Achilles Rink. After more than 40 years of use, the building was in need of a refurbishment in order to keep pace with other programs across the country. The school undertook a study on the improvements necessary and estimated that the cost would be more than $20 million. With the sizable price tag, the college decided to instead build a new rink. Plans for the new facility began in the spring of 2022 and the school worked with the Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority to determine the best approach. Almost three years later, plans were finalized for the new rink. The new building, which was operating under a working name as the 'Mohawk Harbor Event Center' would cost an estimated $50 million to build. To fund the project, Union College agreed to pay $20 million over a 25-year period as the primary tenant for the arena. A further $10 million was secured by State Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, $5 million came from the county legislature, $2.5 million from the Schenectady city council and $1 million from trustee Neil Golub. The rink is to be built near College Park Hall, on the northwest corner of campus, in the Mohawk Harbor district. New York Phoenix The New York Phoenix of 94x50 League moved into M&T Bank Center in 2026 after playing their inaugural season at Schenectady Armory. References External links Official website
Mount Loretto Unique Area

Mount Loretto Unique Area is an open space reserve and nature preserve administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on the South Shore of Staten Island, New York City. The area's total size is 241 acres (98 ha), of which 49 acres (20 ha) is underwater. History Mount Loretto was once the largest orphanage in New York State. It was started by Father John Christopher Drumgoole, an Irish Catholic priest and founder of the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin in Manhattan, an organization to help poor and disposed children. He purchased the Staten Island land for the orphanage in the 1880s and named it "Mount Loretto" in honor of one of the nuns who worked with him at the mission. It was served by the Mount Loretto Spur of the Staten Island Railway. The area is also referred to as "Mount Loretta" [sic] in the official New York State Gazetteer, maintained and published by the New York State Department of Health, which includes numerous defunct hamlets and towns, some with alternate or archaic spellings. The area that encompasses the Mount Loretto Unique Area was purchased from the Archdiocese of New York by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 1999. The property formerly contained various buildings including the St. Elisabeth's girls' dormitory, a large Victorian Era building that was destroyed by arson during the time that title to the land was being transferred to the state. Geography and natural history Today, Mount Loretto has approximately one mile (1.6 km) of shoreline fronting Prince's Bay and Raritan Bay. Along the shoreline are the highest ocean-facing bluffs in New York State, which reach a height of 75 feet (23 m). The bluffs are part of a terminal moraine of clay and gravel left by the Wisconsin Glacier, which reached its southernmost terminus in Staten Island. The highest bluff is the location of an historic lighthouse, the Prince's Bay Light. The stone lighthouse, which was built in 1864 with an attached lighthouse keeper's cottage built in 1868, is a New York State Landmark. Within the preserve, in addition to the bluffs, there are extensive brackish and freshwater wetlands including a large vernal pond. The preserve contains a wide variety of native plants, shrubs, and trees, owing to the diverse habitats represented within the park. Various species of birds frequent the park during various parts of the year. Its large mowed fields make it attractive to many species of upland shorebird such as buff-breasted sandpiper and upland sandpiper. Other field birds, such as eastern meadowlark and bobolink, can also be found here during migration. The wetlands areas support habitat utilized by various species of waterfowl such as the wood duck (Aix sponsa), blue and green-winged teal, as well as many species of ducks, waders and marsh birds. Many rare birds have visited the preserve including white ibis, scissor-tailed flycatcher and western kingbird. The preserve is also home to snakes, turtles, frogs and toads, as well as raccoons, chipmunks, moles and field mice.

Бруклински мост

Бруклинският мост (на английски: New York and Brooklyn Bridge) в гр. Ню Йорк, САЩ е сред най-старите висящи мостове в света. Той е изграден над Ийст Ривър (East River). Свързва районите на Ню Йорк Бруклин и Манхатън. При откриването му за експлоатация е бил сред най-дългите метални висящи мостове в света. Бруклинския мост е дълъг 1834 м, най-широкият му проход над водата е 486 м, има ширина 26 м и максимална височина над водата 84 м. Мостът е проектиран от фирмата на Джон Роублинг от Трентън, която по негово време има опит в проектирането на няколко моста, но значително по-малки. Строителството започва на 3 януари 1870 г. и мостът е официално открит на 24 май 1883 г. Общите разходи за построяването на моста са около 15 милиона долара. За периода на строителните работи загиват 27 работници. Главният проектант умира още в началото на строителството и работата се поема от сина му – Уошингтън Роублинг. Той, обаче, също заплаща със здравето си – поради постоянното изложение на неблагоприятни условия заболява от декомпресионна болест. Проектът не е бил тестван в аеродинамичен тунел, което дълги години поражда опасения, че няма да издържи на силните въздушни течения, подобно на други мостове от този тип. Конструкция на моста, обаче, се оказва достатъчно мощна и мостът е в експлоатация над 120 години. През 1977 г. мостът е включен в регистъра на САЩ на обектите с архитектурно историческо значение. В началото мостът обслужва единствено движението на конни впрягове и трамваи. Има 6 ленти за автомобили и в краищата - пешеходни и велосипедни ленти. По моста е забранено движението на автобуси и камиони с тегло над 2,7 тона.
Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge er en af tre broer, som binder bydelene Manhattan og Brooklyn i New York sammen. Den strækker sig 1834 meter over East River. Hovedspændet over selve vandet er 486 meter, noget som gjorde den til verdens længste hængebro, da den stod færdig i 1883. Brooklyn Bridge er en af de ældste hængebroer i USA og var den første bro af denne type i verden, som blev konstrueret med stålkabler. Broen tog fjorten år at bygge, og 27 arbejdere mistede livet under bygning af broen. Den er opført i nygotisk stil med karakteristiske spidse buegange gennem de to tårne. Brooklyn Bridge var et af de store mesterværker inden for ingeniørkunst i 1800-tallet og er den dag i dag et af New Yorks mest berømte bygningsværker.

Brooklyn Bridge

De van 1870 tot 1883 gebouwde Brooklyn Bridge is een hangbrug met elementen van een tuibrug in New York in de Verenigde Staten. Ze gaat over de East River en verbindt Brooklyn met Lower Manhattan, net als de Manhattan Bridge. De architecten waren John Roebling en na diens dood als gevolg van een arbeidsongeval zijn zoon Washington Roebling. De vrouw van Washington, Emily Warren Roebling, nam de feitelijke leiding over het afbouwen van de brug op zich toen haar man, slachtoffer van de caissonziekte, daartoe niet meer in staat was. Naam De huidige naam van de brug is pas later officieel vastgesteld. In de 19e eeuw waren New York en Brooklyn nog afzonderlijke steden. Tijdens de ontwerpfase en de eerste jaren van de bouw circuleerden verschillende benamingen, waaronder Empire Bridge, Great East River Bridge, Great Suspension Bridge en Roebling Bridge. De ontwerper John Augustus Roebling zelf gebruikte de naam East River Bridge, die ook in de pers gangbaar was. Op 5 juni 1874 kreeg de brug in officiële documenten voor het eerst de naam The New York and Brooklyn Bridge, nadat zij de status van openbare weg had verkregen. Op 26 januari 1915, na de vorming van City of Greater New York, werd de huidige naam Brooklyn Bridge officieel vastgelegd. Technische beschrijving De brug is 1825 meter lang, en de grootste overspanning is 486 meter. Daardoor had de brug tot de bouw van de Williamsburg bridge in 1903 de langste overspanning ter wereld. In 2008 was het de 64e hangbrug ter wereld qua overspanning. Tijdens de bouw van de brug stierven 27 arbeiders door een val van de kabels of door caissonziekte als gevolg van het werk onder de waterspiegel aan de pylonen. Door het voltooien van de brug en door zijn recordlengte ontstond een nieuwe opvatting over de stedelijke schaal van New York. In de brug wordt de tegenstelling duidelijk tussen de oude materialen en de materialen van het nieuwe tijdperk, de massieve dragers en de 'fijne' bekabeling die het wegdek draagt. Op de Brooklyn Bridge zit ook een stadszegel van Nederlandse afkomst die dateert uit 1834 waarop te lezen is "Eendraght Maakt Magt" (Eendracht maakt macht). Op 30 mei 1883, zes dagen na de opening van Brooklyn Bridge, ontstond er door een vals gerucht over de slechte kwaliteit van de brug, paniek onder de voetgangers en kwamen twaalf mensen om in het gedrang; hierdoor raakte men het vertrouwen in de brug kwijt. Om dit te herstellen liet Barnum op 17 mei 1884 eenentwintig olifanten (waaronder Jumbo) en zeventien kamelen van zijn plaatselijke circus over de brug lopen.

Podul Brooklyn

Podul Brooklyn este unul dintre cele mai vechi poduri suspendate din Statele Unite. Finalizat în 1883, leagă cartierele Manhattan si Brooklyn din New York City, traversând East River. Având 1.825 m lungime , a fost cel mai lung pod suspendat din lume de la deschiderea sa și până în 1903, și primul pod suspendat pe cabluri din sârmă de oțel.
