North River Piers

Piers once lined the shores of Manhattan.  Remember in U.S. v. Carroll Towing the court says that a barge had to be "drilled out" and the bargehand should have been there to help out?  It probably was a barge tied to a pier like this.  You can find these pictures - and many more of the North River piers in Manhattan - HERE.
