Retronaut brings us some cracking clear photos of Fulton fish market in Lowe Manhattan (thanks severnclay), in 1943. To read about the story of the long gone market itself, see the Wikipedia.
My thanks once again to Malcolm Woods for passing the tip along!
Sweet California ‘MacinTosH’ Apples for 6 cents each, excellent! Some ‘On the Waterfront’ style Mob issues apparently but probably not a good idea to try it on with these fisherman.
Not in the Bronx in 1943! This would have been in Lower Manhattan, on the East River. It was moved to the Bronx very recently…
Thanks – I’lll fix it.
New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery’s down.
