City Island St. Mary’s church steeple
City Island is off the Bronx coast, now largely given over to seafood restaurants and marinas, but retaining much of its independent character. Think of the Maine coast, without the touristy “cute” factor. St. Mary’s church stands near the north end of City Island Avenue.
City Island Nautical Museum
The Nautical Museum, housing exhibits and memorabilia of the island’s rich boat-building and maritime traditions.
City Island Nautical Museum Walsh Room
The Walsh Room in the Museum includes a large library of nautical books.
City Island blue and white street sign
One of the old Bronx borough blue-and-white street signs. Still looking for one out on the streets, overlooked by the city.
City Island Avenue porch
If you zoom in real close to some parts of City Island, it could be Cape Cod or Maine.
City Island ferry to Hart’s Island
Run by the Department of Corrections. Essentially, no one is allowed, judging from the sign.
