Excerpt from The Plan of the Port Authority of New York for Future Port Development: Public Opinion Upon Its Adoption as Expressed by Commercial and Civic Organizations and the Press Together With a Few Facts Regarding the World's Greatest Port; January 1922 The suggestion that either plan is necessary because of the dwindling trade of New York is mistaken. It is true that there has becua great decline of foreign trade through New York in both directions; but that is not peculiar to New York. Collector of the Port Aldridge has analyzed the loss of New York in connection with the loss of the country, and shows that the relative volume of business at New York for the first nine months of 1921, as compared with the entire country, has been maintained with a remarkable degree of uniformity. The plan of the Port Authority is not one designed to benefit New York at the expense of other ports, and in particular is not motived by any anxiety at the loss of its share. New York is doing very well, and wishes to do better only as it serves the nation better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Created by a team of architects, historians, teachers, and students, The New York Waterfront is an unprecedented documentation of the rise and fall of the waterfront's architectural, technological, industrial, and commercial existence over the past 150 years. This densely illustrated book vividly presents and preserves the waterfront's development. Superb watercolor, ink, and pencil drawings-some specially created for this publication-as well as rare historic pictures, aerial photographs, and maps culled from a wide variety of sources and reproduced here for the first time, make this book the most comprehensive study on the subject. Newly commissioned photographs by Stanley Greenberg supplement this already rich array of images, often bringing out the melancholy beauty of the waterfront in its present derelict state. Also seen here are many major modern sites-the Red Hook Water Pollution Control Plant, the Port Authority Grain Elevators, the Fresh Kills Landfill, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard-capturing the nameless, inhospitable tracts whose only landmarks are the rusting remains of a once vital commercial life. This illustrative material, together with a series of informative texts written by critics and scholars, reveals a complete picture of the New York waterfront through contemporary projects and visionary proposals, environmental plans and master-planning, built and unbuilt waterfront structures (pier warehouses, recreation piers, markets, and ferry terminals), in addition to a meticulous analysis of a variety of documents and records. The New York Waterfront offers a unique perspective on waterfront building so that the lessons of the past can inform decisions about the future. This publication also inspires us to strive for an equivalent greatness when designing the urban fabric of the twenty-first century, the kind of greatness in public works that has in the past distinguished New York City.
