Description
Color aerial photograph of Hoboken looking southwest, Memorial Day, 1998. Print 19-1/2" high x 29-1/2" wide visible; mounted on 24" x 36" foamcore board with attached light grey window matte (apparently originally double matted - remains of adhesive from a top matte that was torn off); cockled mount with light dampstain on back not affecting image. Photograph by Tom McGuire, Jersey Shore Seascapes, Middletown, N.J. Photographer's label on reverse with ink notation: Memorial Day 1998. Image slightly faded and print resolution is not high. Scans on file with related files. PDF on file. Media Archive.
The photo relates Hoboken very well to Newport, Jersey City, Holland Tunnel and the roads that connect to the south going towards Newark.
View at the bottom of the image is on the Hudson River south from Elysian Park at Hudson and Eleventh Streets to First Street (Steneck Building.) The Lackawanna Terminal is not seen although the train yard is visible. The entire campus of Stevens Institute of Technology is seen.
Note at the left that the buildings now between Piers A to C and the riverfront walkway have yet to be constructed. The U.S.D.A. Quarantine building has not been demolished. Frank Sinatra Memorial Park is essentially complete, but some fencing is not in place.
At center bottom is Union Drydock Co. and just a smokestack top at the former Maxwell House Coffee plant is visible at the bottom right corner.
