Governor's Island looks like an old college campus; however, the buildings are no longer occupied. Instead, the island is owned by the army. In the 1920s, the Orville brothers flew a plane for the first time over water from the island. The mayor at the time, La Guardia wanted to build an airport on the island. After much debate, the island was considered not adequate.
The picture on the right is a picture taken from the ferry of Manhattan on our way to the island. The picture below (left) is the jazz festival that was taking place. The band, dancers, and people were dressed from the 1920s. The picture on the bottom right is my friend Megan, who was trying on fancy, fun hats.
