This is history... I'm glad that I studied and graduated from Haaren High School. I still have all my graded report cards - G.O. - Audio-Visual Aide I.D. - Civil Air Patrol Cadet I.D. card and a copy of the Haaren newspaper. I also have my Haaren High School Year Book of 64. My best wishes to all the students and our dedicated teachers.... they were Great!

Too late! They restored the pedestal but the statue is now in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.

Modern container ships were getting too large to fit under this classic bridge. So the waterway is being dredged to deepen it and the road deck has been lifted to go through the upper part of the arch. The part of the old roadway that is underneath the arch has been removed.

After the collision of the Sea Witch with the Esso Brussels the damaged ship was towed to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and placed in Dry Dock #3. The forward section of the ship was removed from the stern power plant section. The stern section remained in the dry dock while another barge was built in the dry dock. During the floating and removal of the new barge the water level was high enough in the dry dock to cause the stern section of the Sea Witch to lift off the keel blocks and re-settle on a 20-30 degree list off the blocks. The dry dock was left flooded and the the stern section section remained in the listed condition until it was removed by the salvage company Smit American Salvage in con-junction with International Underwater Contractors (IUC). I was the IUC diving supervisor working with two dive teams. The project was started on September 11, 1980 manned with NYC Union Dock Builders and Operating Engineers. The job was seven days a week 10 hours a day to prepare the dry dock and stern section for removal at the highest predicted tide for the year. The divers removed every keel block and item above 6" from the entire dry dock floor to make a clear path. A 250 ton flotation module was designed by Alex Rynecki a well known salvage engineer The floatation module was being built while the ship was lightened by removal of every item and piece of machinery that could be removed. The divers installed the flotation module which was no easy task because of the list of the stern. Large winches were attached to buried deadmen to control the ship during righting. On November 20, 1980 everything was ready the dry dock was flooded the entrance caisson was removed and the large flotation module air bags were filled to make the stern section buoyant with less that 1' of clearance to the dry dock floor. There was heavy rain and lightening that day almost like a bad omen. A large powerful pusher tug boat was made up to the forward bulkhead of the stern section. The tug was put into reverse to pull the stern section out of the dry dock but the Sea Witch would not move. At first everyone thought it was the curse of the Sea Witch, then it was realized that the prop wash from the pusher tug was being counteracted by the large flat stern section. Another tug was attached to the pusher tug further away and the stern section was towed out of the dry dock. The Sea Witch was towed to the Todd Shipyard in Erie Basin (which is no longer). It was stored there along side a pier and all the flotation air bags were removed by a diver and any air leaks were repaired. Beginning on December 22, 1981 underwater inspections were made of the flotation module. On January 1, 1982 the flotation module culverts were high pressure water blasted clean of marine growth and the air bags were starting to be re-installed. I personally had the task of laying out the size of an underwater patch to seal the main engine cooling water intake tunnel. The shipyard fabricated the patch which I installed and underwater welded to the hull. The ship was made ready for towing again and was brought to the Brooklyn Navy Yard again where we removed the flotation module on February 6, 1982. The stern section was ocean towed to Newport News Shipyard in Norfolk, VA. The entire salvage crew was brought to Norfolk to re-attach the flotation module again so the the Sea Witch could be but in the huge dry dock at the shipyard. That is the last time I saw her in the dry dock. I understand that Union Carbide purchased the stern power section to build a new liquid cargo vessel now in service named the Chemical Pioneer. As of this date November 13, 2017 that I am writing this history story a lot of the men that I worked with from LU #1456 Dock Builders are no longer alive. It was a good job that lasted a long time and I miss some of those guys, we all worked together in harmony. My hat is off to all that were there.

Please stop alerting the outline of this tag. It is a square structure, the view that you see is a photo illusion due to the shape of the building taken at a skewed angle.

Been going here for 20+ years. John is the best, hands down. A true perfectionist and professional.

Nice place

The row directly in front of and parallel to the building (which used to be a drug rehab center called Phoenix House) is trenches B-62 through B-68. B is for babies. 1000 of them per section, stacked 3 high in little individual pinewood shoeboxes. They've already filled in B-62 through B-66, which is 5000. The vast majority are stillbirths where the mother opted for a free burial under a name instead of nameless cremation with the abortions and medical waste.

Well that means I know you too! Carl and Kathy Ward in the building!!!

I remember you Mitchell Page!! Mr. Unger died though three years ago

My sister & I were the first "new girls" at the Forest Hills location, directly across from Forest Hills High. So from 1941 through 1947 I stayed first in the Junior Girls' cottage & then at age 12 went into the Senior Girls' cottage. There were many good times, often helped along by the house mothers, Mabel Ketels & Anna Edwards. Charlotte Thim gave us ballet lessons; for a short time I took piano lessons with Miss Quinn, a wonderful, caring, kind woman who had taught herself by ear. Miss Ketels played piano & we loved singing along with her. Both she & Miss Edwards guided us in mounting seasonal plays & musicals. Miss Edwards cooked, & she created many costumes. Margaret Milne was in the Administration Building so we didn't see her often. I think she was liked only in a lukewarm fashion. Mrs. Catherine DiNapoli didn't live on the premises, but came in to cook in Senior Girls' cottage. Also, we enjoyed the company of her husband Anthony & their little daughter, Catherine, Jr. Junior Girls had a dog, Frisky, obtained as a puppy, loved by all. There's much to tell, maybe another time.

Does anyone know who manufactured the interior brown wall office partitions of the building, which we frequently see in Law and Order camera shots?
