The views on NYC Ferry’s Red Hook route are inspiring. Floating museums and 19th-century storehouses: Here’s the Red Hook I cherish

This pathway runs through the Pier 44 Waterfront Garden. INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

Here’s a flower-filled view of the Merchant Stores.

— Continued from page 10INB — SHIP AHOY

I love that there are not one, but two, floating museums in this shoreline neighborhood. The Mary A. Whalen is a decommissioned oil tanker that activist Carolina Salguero has transformed into a museum and floating cultural center. Waterway-centric nonprofit PortSide NewYork operates it. The tanker is easy to find — NYC Ferry built a dock right alongside it. Fairway Market is located in the picturesque Red Hook Stores. The other floating cultural institution is the Waterfront Mu- seum, aka the Lehigh Valley Railroad Barge #79. The red-painted wooden barge is about a century old. It’s tied up on the shoreline beside Fairway Supermarket, which is located in one of my favorite Red Hook buildings. I cherish the neighborhood’s iconic storehouses that were built to handle goods transported on the Erie Canal. Fairway Market is located in the one called the Red Hook Stores. To get from there to the Merchant Stores, you can walk along a waterside pathway that runs through the Pier 44 Wa- terfront Garden. ENTREPRENEURS AND HURRICANE RESILIENCE

I love the energy of Van Brunt Street. Entrepreneurs there operate art galleries, a bookstore, delis, bars and restaurants such as Fort Defiance and a plant shop called Chelsea Garden Center. Many merchants on this commercial corridor and else- where in Red Hook struggled after Superstorm Sandy but have made a comeback. Brooklyn Crab is built on stilts and therefore was largely spared the ravages of Sandy-related flooding. I also cherish the aquatic scenery you can see during NYC Ferry rides in and out of Red Hook. Gantry cranes line the Brooklyn shore. The World Trade Center shimmers in the dis- tance. The ferry is the neighborhood’s most convenient form of public transportation. As everyone knows, the closest subway stop is far away and bus service is irritatingly infrequent.

The BRCC, despite the modern-day chal- lenges it faces in luring members and specta- tors out to meetings and events, perseveres in its main role – highlighting the civic good that is done here through individuals and organi- zations. Winners of the 2019 Civic Award to be rec- ognized that night are Marianne Nicolosi, who runs the Bay Ridge Center, and Brian Chin, vice president of Northfield Bank, whose career here proves the adage that if you have a big task, give it to a busy person.
