A historic part of the labor movement and the Brooklyn waterfront has found new life.
“The Working Brooklyn Waterfront,” an eight-panel mural, was commissioned in 1963 by Longshoremen (ILA) Local 1814 for the union’s Brooklyn Medical Center. But the center was closed several years ago and is set for demolition later this year.
Last month, the mural was moved and reinstalled at the new Brooklyn Passenger Ship Terminal, Red Hook Pier 12.
