Brooklyn Aquarium Outing: 1938
My mom and her sister on an outing to the Brooklyn Aquarium. They lived in Brooklyn Heights and my grandfather would take them on outings on Sundays. Here they are pictured with two boys from the neighborhood. The boy who is saluting...His mom used to watch my mother and aunt while my grandmother worked. View full size.
Aye aye sir....
But ....the New York Aquarium to my knowledge moved to Brooklyn from Battery Park located in Manhattan in , 1957. That probably explains the taller than typical Brooklyn buildings that would be found in 1938. Brooklyn Heights is just a hop skip and a jump across the East River to Battery Park.
