With video cameras getting smaller and more sophisticated, dashcam videos are ubiquitous nowadays. Back in 1900s however, can you imagine the size of the video camera mounted on the "dash" of this carriage riding through the streets of New York?!
Possibly the very first dash cam footage ever recorded. New York City Circa 1900 - An extremely interesting watch!
Admiral's Row, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was a historic row of 19th-century officers' homes built between 1864 and 1901 to house high-ranking naval personnel. These grand residences were emblematic of the Navy Yard's prominence during its peak as a vital hub of American shipbuilding and defense. However, with the Navy Yard's decommissioning in 1966, Admiral's Row fell into neglect, succumbing to decades of abandonment, structural decay, and overgrowth. The site became a symbol of urban blight, despite its historic significance and periodic efforts to preserve it. In 2016, most of the remaining buildings were demolished to make way for redevelopment, including a Wegmans supermarket and other commercial ventures, leaving behind only the timber shed and one house as relics of its storied past. The loss of Admiral's Row remains a poignant reminder of New York City's struggles to balance historic preservation with modern urban needs.
