percent of them are in New Jersey.Bigger and bigger container ships are coming, ships that the small Red Hook Container Port can’tpossibly handle, he said. He pointed to the Danish Ship Emma Maersk, which can accommodate 11,000shipping containers and whose tower is as high as a 12‐story building.Although the Sunset Park waterfront could be dredged to accommodate these new ships, he said, doingso would substantially alter the landscape. The better alternative, he said, would be for Brooklyn toconcentrate on ship repair for smaller, more typical ships.Brooklyn, he said, already has dry docks (ship repair facilities) at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and severalfloating dry docks in other locations. These facilities should be maintained and expanded, he said, toretain and attract jobs. Just recently, he recounted, the contract to repair one of the Staten Island ferrieswas lost to a dry dock in Virginia, resulting in a loss of jobs.Advani of the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center focused on Sunset Park. The goals of most planners,she said, are to expand access to the waterfront, which is now occupied by industrial complexes such asthe Bush Terminal, and to unite industrial western Sunset Park with residential eastern Sunset Park.The two parts of the neighborhood are divided by the huge overhead Gowanus Expressway. Manyplanners have advocated putting the expressway — which already needs to be repaired or replaced —underground or at street level. On a related matter, she praised the plan for Bush Terminal Piers Park,which will be created out of an inactive storage area for the historic industrial development.Coney and the Navy YardIn one of the more nostalgic elements of the conference, Borough Historian Schweiger traced thehistory of Coney Island, illustrated by slides. Around the turn of the last century, Coney was basically asummer resort, with several hotels, three full‐scale amusement parks, and piers for ferries to taketourists to and from Manhattan. The area also had three racetracks.Eventually, the amusement parks closed, with the last one, Steeplechase Park, shutting down in 1964.The racetracks were an early casualty because the state temporarily banned betting at racetracks in1910. The hotels shut down after the amusement area’s clientele changed from middle‐class to workingclass.Although there was one bright spot — the opening of Astroland Park in 1962 — the amusement areabecame a crime‐ and gang‐ridden shell of its former self by the 1970s. The area’s rebirth in the 1990s iswell known, and Schweiger approvingly displayed slides of MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones,and the new Luna Park, operated by the Italian corporation Zamperla.Another area that has seen a rebirth is the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Kimball gave its story. MostBrooklynites know that the U.S. Navy left the Navy Yard in 1966, but many don’t know that a hugeprivate shipbuilding corporation, Seatrain, began building ships within the former Navy facility in 1967,only to close its doors in the 1980s. In 1987 the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. was formed andbegan to concentrate on attracting smaller industry to the site.Page 48 of 154
Today, by any stretch of the imagination, the Navy Yard is a success. Most of the buildings have beenleased, said Kimball, and the number of jobs has grown from 3,600 in 2001 to 5,800 today. Companiesthat lease space in the yard vary widely, from Steiner Movie Studios to a company that makes protectivevests used by U.S. troops in Afghanistan, from food service companies to the still‐active dry docks, andfrom a furniture workshop to architects’ offices.Asked what the Navy Yard offers these companies, Kimball answered that one of the attractions is a“hassle‐free environment.” Because the yard is in an enclosed space, it has its own security and its ownrules. “No one’s going to give your truck five parking tickets,” he said.Page 49 of 154
