ok now all we need to agree on is where the golf corce is in game

also in responce to an erlyer post the reson why the piers are to short is because The Army, which controlled the location and size of piers, refused to let any piers extend beyond the existing pierhead line of the North River (the navigation name for the Hudson River south of 30th Street). Ship lines were reluctant to build north of 23rd Street because infrastructure was already in place, including the High Line Rail line and a train station near the river at 23rd Street.

In the 1930s a new set of piers for ocean liners was built farther north, and the older piers including the original pier 59 were converted to a cargo terminal. At that time a new numbering convention for piers was adopted: The pier number is the street number plus 40. This puts the new location for a pier 59 at 19th street. The Chelsea piers suffered heavy fire damage in 1947 and were rebuilt. At that time the new numbering was applied, putting the new â€œPier 59â€ where it is now.
