Tugboat Dorothy Buchanan approaches one of four waterfall installations in New York Harbor, this one under the Brooklyn Bridge. Three others are located at Pier 39 East River just north of the Manhattan Bridge; below Brooklyn Heights; and adjacent to Governors Island facing Manhattan. All four may be seen from New York Water Taxis, New York Waterway ferries and Seastreak ferries arriving and leaving Pier 11 Wall Street. Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport is a good location for viewing three of the four waterfalls.
