ERIC SANDERSON will join the AROUND MANHATTAN BOAT TOUR to reveal the region’s pre-1600’s topography, watercourses and vegetation. Attendees will explore how four centuries of built environment have impacted the estuary and its immense network of interdependent ecosystems. Those who have read the Pulitzer Prize winning MANNAHATTA have been awestruck by its meticulously reconstructed views of pre-European settlement. The deep research behind that work and the ongoing WELIKIA PROJECT (http://welikia.orghttp://welikia.org) will be brought to life along the entire route. With AIANY host guide, Arthur Platt, a wide-ranging discussion will explore the diverse history of land use including: the Lenape Indian communal resource sharing, Dutch and later use of landfill and today’s use of platform construction to create dense developments such as Hudson Yards. Increased inhabitation and recreation along the City’s 578 mile waterfront has stirred interest in the repair of the region’s vital and extensive estuary. New landscapes, including Governors Island and Brooklyn Bridge Parks, incorporate the lessons of marine ecology and their contribution to ongoing waterfront resiliency and remediation planning will also be studied. The tour, aboard Classic Harbor Lines’ beautiful Yacht Manhattan will not ignore the many architectural masterpieces old & new visible along the route. All aboard will be inspired to envision a future NYC with coexisting and interwoven natural and built environments.
