Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Bringing pioneering archival research, this book examines the New York waterfront's rich history while exposing an ongoing struggle for control between private wharf owners and the city's Department of Docks. The book delves into the legal battles, agreements, debates, and developments that have shaped the face and use of New York's waterfront since the 17th century. The author argues that while the city has long asserted its authority over the waterfront, the rights of private property owners to wharfage and other privileges have been recognized and reaffirmed, particularly in the landmark Langdon v. Mayor case. The author maintains that it is essential for the city to balance its development plans with respect for private property rights, and highlights the book's relevance to ongoing discussions about the future of New York's waterfront, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding its heritage while promoting economic growth.
