GAZ:00050664
The northern area of New York Harbor inside The Narrows. It is enclosed by Manhattan, Long Island, mainland New Jersey and Staten Island. It is fed by the Hudson River (historically called the North River as it passes Manhattan), as well as the Gowanus Canal. It is connected to Lower New York Bay by the Narrows, to Newark Bay by the Kill Van Kull, and to Long Island Sound by the East River, which despite the name, is actually a tidal strait.
