Abandoned might be the wrong word. It has many empty windows and the entrances are fenced off. Is it possible that the people you saw were beginning some demolition/renovation work? John,

I thought you might enjoy a project concerning similar areas - although more focussed on flotsam than rising water levels - http://outerspacecities.com/lll/lll.html. If you have any questions about specific coastal spots or flotsam in general, let me know. All the best in future explorations! Great photos and adventures across NYC coastlines.

Given the past 100 years worth of change it's now hard to picture. Perhaps it had the look of present day Truro on Cape Cod...? Must be some old engravings out there -JP On the one hand that’s easy to imagine. Given the past 100 years worth of change it’s now hard to picture.

On page 155, she quotes from the 19th century geologist, William Mather that Coney Island's seaward side was "a labyrinth of sand dunes, formed by wind..." The dunes were 5 to 30 ft. high. I don't know if there are any unaltered dune environments that would be close to what Coney Island once was. John,

I understand that Coney Island has been built up. I'm curious about what it looked like 500 years ago. Are there any beaches in the area that might be representative of that coastal natural landscape before human alteration?

Are there any roadsigns about Howard Beach? Here in California we collect old roadsigns about the infamous multistate Route 66. I could not find any pics of old HB roadsigns on the Internet.
