For more than a century, the Hudson River piers in Greenwich Village bustled with maritime commerce that made New York the greatest port in the country. By the 1960s, after years of economic decline, the great waterfront was disappearing. This book documents 30 years of decay, transformation, and rebirth along the waters of Manhattan's west side.
