New York Harbor

Copper additions seem to be helpful to avoid pitting. Submerged specimens in New York Harbor produced excessive pitting on a 28 percent Chromium stainless but no pitting on a 20 Cr-1 Cu alloy for the period of time tested. 

Avant-garde American writer Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) began her now-legendary American lecture tour in 1934. It amazes me that perhaps no one, maybe not even the author herself, knew what Stein s writing was all about. I wonder if you know what I mean, she mused to her audience on one occasion. I do not quite know whether I do myself Yet Stein was such a celebrity that 15 reporters sailed out to meet her ship in New York harbor. 

S.R. Divine took out patents for Sprengel expls consisting of K chlorate liquid combustibles. One of such expl, Rackarock, was used in 1885 for blasting of Hell Gate in New York Harbor (Ref 11, p 43)... 

A similar type expl was used in 1885 for blasting out Hell Gate Channel at the entrance of New York Harbor (see under Rack-a-rock in this Vol, Rl-Lto Rl-R)... 

An important consideration for a three-dimensional macrosculpture is selecting the material from which the sculpture will be made. For example, the Statue of Liberty would not be effective as a wire sculpture. The function of the Statue of Liberty is to welcome travelers to the New York harbor as a gateway to the United States. In wire, the statue would be missed entirely by travelers. The materials used in a sculpture can determine its success or failure as a work of art. In Activity 5.4, students will be instructed about the use of plaster, sometimes called plaster of Paris, as a medium for three-dimensional macrosculpture. The preparation of plaster of Paris and the chemical changes that occur during preparation are discussed.

The restoration of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor 30 years ago represents a fascinating blend of science, technology, and art. The statue consists of copper sheets attached to a framework of iron, which had become so weakened by corrosion during its 100 years of exposure to the elements that it was in danger of collapsing. 

When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor on a gray March day in 1949, I was an undersized nine-year-old in short pants who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he didn t know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned, tortured, and shot by Communist guerrillas for sending me and three of my four sisters to freedom. She died so that her children could go to their father in the United States. 

The baseline concentration of mercury in unpolluted marine waters has been estimated to be less than 2 ng/L (2 ppt) (Fowler 1990). In contrast, the New York Bight, an inshore coastal area near the industrialized areas of New York Harbor and northern New Jersey, contained dissolved mercury concentrations in the range of 10-90 ng/L (ppt) (Fowler 1990).

The green color of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is due to a layer of patina, or protective coating, that covers the copper sheets making up the statue. The presence of the patina helps keep the statue from corroding further because oxygen cannot get through the patina to reach the copper layers underneath. 

The tide advances up the Connecticut and the Housatonic Rivers as a progressive wave (Le Lacheur and Sammons, 1932). Tides and circulation in the Thames River are described by Tolderlund (1975). The East River is a tidal straight with most of its tidal prism derived from New York Harbor (Bowman, 1976a). 

Long Island Sound is connected to the sea by three passes at its eastern end and by the East River (through New York Harbor) at its western end. The principal source of fresh water entering the Sound is the Connecticut River, which enters near the eastern end, as shown in Fig. 11. Thus the Sound does not have the conventional configuration of an estuary with...

Seifert and Jagels (3), using the TAPPI standards recommended for archaeological wood, undertook extensive chemical analysis of wood elements of difierent wood species. Their samples came from the Ronson ship s bow excavated from a landfill in the New York Harbor after a burial of approximately 240 years.
