I love this so much! Why have I always loved stories of the parts of New York built on filled-in land (or what you call, much more professionally, "land reclamation")? Something about it is utterly fascinating. And I'd never seen that cool Bristol Basin plaque even though I often walk along the East River promenade quite frequently. I will be looking for it next time.

You forgot about the rat layer, but otherwise this was a fantastic read!
The rat layer permeates all other layers
So interesting.
Thank you
