Dead Horse Bay - A scavenger's dream

- Abandoned boats, horse bones, and bottles, lots of bottles. Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn, New York is definitely out of the ordinary with a very interesting and slightly dark history. I wouldn't consider it an abandoned beach but it certainly has that feel and look. Tons of garbage being eroded out of a the landfill and thousands of bottles laying on the beach. Bring your thick rubber boots and some gloves to this place. Oddly enough, it is managed by the National Park Service and technically it is illegal to remove items. However many argue that they are doing a service by removing trash off the beach. For those who are interested in going to find some treasures, I didn't get the vibe anyone really cares much about this place in the slightest bit.

Captain 'Winkle' Wow, that sounds very interesting. I've heard of it but never did any research.
Chris you have really been missed !! Glad to see you back I have been waiting patiently !
Wears hat racist to us American Indians........
WOW it is trash, who knew!
kelly cho It is just a baseball hat.. and by the way.. we prefer to be referred to as Native Americans.
Sooooo, I can get a citation from the city for letting my lawn grown too tall, but they can let the ocean swallow up a fucking landfill? sounds about right....
Sure! They can fine us; but who can fine them?
Taking bribes; like all the other high officials. What else?

That's Liberal Logic for you!!!! VOTE in November!

So,sad to see all that garbage going into our ocean! Also I'm sure there is alot of cool artifacts. NY needs to get it cleaned up!
no it needs to be nuked..
Nothing there warrants a clean up, nothing is toxic and over time the glass will just be turned into sand.
Very sad! Such a shame!!
@@newhope33 is pretty much right
Hopefully as it’s an older landfill there isn’t much plastic mostly glass and metal, but still not good at all.
How freaking sad that the state doesn’t clean that up. What a disaster
I bet the mafia did some dirty deeds on that island.
And do what with it? Put it in another landfill?
If nobody important notices, then it doesn’t get cleaned up. Glass is fully remeltable and can be made into other items.
@@sherylchapman4168 glass also turns into sand 😂
NYC has no say so over it 😂 contact DC
"The entire area is managed by the National park Service"
It's sad I'm not even shocked that they don't even bother to clean the place
They clean other places, where do you think they put all that stuff?? Shoot it into outer space? the national park service has landfills too.
@@Jack29151 exactly..leave it for what is..why spend more money for an area that will never be used for “tourism”
@@Jack29151 umm maybe move it so it doesnt go in the F N ocean?
As a proud Californian, I find this amazing! A New Yorker's version of a nature hike at the beach.
That's wild man I've never even heard of that place. A place where New Yorkers just allowed tons of garbage to freely flow into the ocean way to go New York!
The tide making all the bottles clink is a creepy sound.
You can almost hear Luther ask the warriors to come out to play.
David L. It was asmr for me 😂
Good Lord MAN... GLOVES.... GET GLOVES!
I was cringing. Nothing sissy about it, stupid uber-male. Get over his damn self. I wanted serious gloves so I could grab stuff.
@Bumble Bee Ooh, I bet you’re a real man.
Facts 💯. 🧤
Why? He picked up a few old shoes and a marble..this ain’t Chernobyl..
@@michaelsteven1090 lmao right
An explorer channel that doesn't have free trap music droning in the background and some dude telling me to "pound that like button"? Wtf is this?
It's a quality channel, that's for sure.
It’s not pound it’s SMASH
Dave Stennes check me out on Facebook instagram and Twitter
i will pound you like a beast hahaha :D
are you naked over there?:D
It’s strange how land fills always become historical discoveries. We find ancient garbage dumps in Rome or Greece and they become important archeology sites. Give it 1 or 2 thousand years and our landfills will be no different t.
To everyone wondering how they got there: They got there via flooding during a hurricane. Many people lost their boats and they were everywhere. I saw some recently in queens.
i grew up in Brooklyn,and back in the day,my brothers and i would go down there on many an occasion. I found some amazing stuff over the years buried in the sand. Dozens of antique bottles and whatnot. Old school Coke,pepsi and & 7 up glass receptacles,intact with painted labels. It was a pretty cool exploring,like being some kind of modern day archeologist. Creepily enough,i once discovered an old glass prescription bottle with a label on it on it for anti psychotic meds. Kinda weird to say the least lol.
With a little bit of flex tape those boats will be as good as new.
The Fumbler THE INSIDE IS COMPLETELY DRY
I'm not sure that's a LATa DAM-AGE
Did you come straight from JonTron?
Jordan Lynch nope have you seen ads on tv? They used it on boats. Even a block of glass filled with water just one appliance quicklystop the flow of water through a gap.
HEY I SAWED THIS BOAT IN HALF! LETS FIX IT WITH FLEXTAPE!
Disgusting- how we’ve treated the ocean as a dumping ground!
I just watched the 200th episode of Redacted Tonight where they did a report on all the plastic polluting the planet. If you haven't seen it already, you might want to check it out.
I put that wrench and marble there last week for a reason man. geeze
lol
he took it XD
Press f to pay respect
Crazy
Omg there must be so many people out there with huge creative potential to recycle this stuff on the beach. I live in NZ and if you could see the public toilets designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser (1928-2000). Built mostly with recycled materials, the toilets incorporate bricks, bottles, tiles and colourful pottery.Mar 29, 2016. Its quirky, functional and a tourist drawcard. The roof is grass and this place never ceases to amaze. You have history lying on the beach. Why bury it again, those knives, bottles, silver, perfume bottles can create so much with the right people with imagination and funding from city councillors or even the locals themselves. So much potential to reuse and recycle and keep history alive creatively //
Keep an eye out for Jimmy Hoffa.
Pretty sure he was turned into sausage
Why Me? I know he was had him frozen for a while. The spaghetti sauce was very tasty
New movie coming out that explains what happened to him, "The Irishman".
He's in Yankee stadium, ground up in concrete and poured in.
I was thinking of the same thing when he was picking up pices of bones?
This "hidden gem" is also an environmental nightmare. Why isn't NY dealing with this? Why are they allowing yet more garbage to go into the ocean? What the hell is wrong with them?
Google that and you'll be able to answer a lot your own questions
why? because the world is a garbage can, and you are just another piece of trash...
@@AmericanSurvival
You are ate up with it dude, this is a nation of immigrants that made America great.
Ive been there quite a few times. Most people dont realize just how much garbage there is. even further inland, If you take a shovel, and begin digging youll find trash. It would take decades to clean it up at great cost. Covering it up may be better, but the next storm will wash it all away. Dredging the coast will only throw trash onto trash. As a society we cant let this happen again.
What's wrong with them.......? The place is full of Democrats
I get the reference of the shoe soles in the boat, it's The ship of lost souls! Get it lol ?
This is so cool- and since there'll never be a big-budget National Geographic documentary on the glories of Dead Horse Bay, I'm glad Mobile Instinct's got it covered!
Disgusting what the state did to that island, and when it became a liability, transferred it to the park service so the federal taxpayers not just the state will have to pay.
Cant stand this garbage. :D
Welcome to screw york
Those boats are all relatively 'new' being of fiberglass, mostly - probably deposited there by Sandy.
You probably won’t notice that his, but there’s this book called The Atlas Obscura about hidden wonders of the world. Dead Horse Bay is in it, and lots of other amazing places. I recommend that you read the book, I think you’d like it.
This video has been recommended to me for a few days now. Finally watched it. What an amazing place, really cool people are still allowed to explore it.
The city needs to clean that shit up!!!
Richard Myhan Eh its New York the hell do you expect from them?
Nature will recycle everything in time. Earth has dealt with much worse over its history. It was here long before we existed; and will be here long after we're extinct.
John Chalinder what has it dealt with that’s worse than non-degradable plastics?
If we were to go extinct today it would take over 500,000 years for our footprint to disappear entirely - learned that from a documentary. You are right, it would just take a long time for the Earth to completely biodegrade all of the plastic.
William Powell Ok, beach. Can I at least get a thumbs up?
4:00 Someone has been looking for that 10mm for a while.
I dont see it!
I lost that a while back dammit !
Hahahahaha I’ll play you jumbos last
Bill Carrig Sorry, I was looking for a pistol with 10mm barrel...
Even more than that,l it's a 10mm and opposite is 13... GOLD!
We need to start thinking about what earth is going to look like in a couple years. Just terrifying, and awful. Imagine how much this is going to effect the food chain and all the beautiful things in this world that WE have, but we just destroyed it all. Because of YOU, and ME!!
As the saying goes "one man's trash is another man's tresure!! " Nice to see you back Chris thanks for showing us round this strange beach.
TMNT FOREVER That saying definitely holds true here!
It’s a bit different when you have people rummaging through actual junk during kerbside collection, making a mess in the process.
there is a spot by the old military base called Floyd Bennett Airfields where they built bunkers and trained soldiers and had special planes. It was built in the 20s and 30s and most of it became abandoned in the late 40s. by the sea shore, there was a beach where they would bring old and dying horses and shoot and out them down there from the 1800s and very early 1900s. If you go there, you would see a large wooden rotting fort and a bunch of bricks and collapsed concrete slabs of what looks like an old concrete booth or room. they say you could find remains there. I have not found any but I did find what looked like an old navy boat piece.
sorry for spelling.
Funny you said the National Park Services is in control of that area and it still looks like that......
@DepressoExpresso Destroyed by private business, landed in federal hands for cleanup and care at taxpayer expense. Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along ....
It seems to be capitalistic nature to suck things dry and discard them somewhere when their usefulness has run out. 😅
Private business did the damage. By now a lot of it is so old it probably is protected by the NHPA National historic preservation act. I think anything over 50 years is protected
Financial cuts of all parks
It's a national park service landfill.
I'm just finding your channel. My husband told me about you. We live in Florida now, and you see lots of beached boats here because of the Hurricanes. When I first moved here, I was amazed. This beach you are at now is pretty wild. My husband just told me about this one this morning. I absolutely love the videos I have watched.
It only took us 526 years to turn it into a garbage dump. That’s something to be proud of.
Perfect spot for NY jail birds to be chained together and pick up trash from dusk to dawn.
Extreme Enduro you are so right!!
was going say the same thing!
yes or welfare queens make them work for the benefits everyone else does
wat happens when a jail bird finesses an 80 year old knife
i agree, it is so sad knowing that trash like this exists and flows into the ocean!
LOVED this video! I could spend a week looking over the artifacts on that beach.
"Horse Rendering Plant", LOL. As a Species, we really are just a bunch of Pigs! Cool Video and thanks for posting.
OMG...cant believe your back! Hope you are doing well!! Don't stay gone for so long!! ;)
Really interesting to see - great pacing of the video and commentary, gives a good feel for the area. I like your style - subscribed!
Wouldn’t Brooklyn be responsible for preventing this landfill from washing out to the sea?
So sad what man has done to the world.
What if I told you, the world was given to us to do exactly what we're doing ?
@@FrequencyOfThought then you're not to bright lol
@@tjboy58 harness your inner wisdom. We're naturally organisms feeding on the earth as a host. You can't control when the world and its life forms go extinct. It's beyond your control oh wise one. All though you and many others like you wish you were in control.
not really beyond your control, you could kill everyone
Oof
That's very cool and with good history. Thanks for sharing my friend 😎 🤘
Kimberly Sears yes it's a very cool .I'll don't nkow feeling if I'll get my dreams feels this with .so much heavenly way home
I love this guys videos and have missed seeing his new uploads!!! Welcome back! 👍
Love abandoned items! Always more questions and intrigue than answers! Love it
Very interesting video, Chris! Earlier today I was comparing aches and pains with a friend in our "Senior Apartment Building" and commented (as I have in the past), "I'm just glad I'm not a horse; they would've sent me to a glue factory a long time ago." I remember mentions of "Hide Glue" in how-to magazine articles 60-odd years ago. I have a fairly long list of things I wish I'd done when they were still available and those butter knives from Horn and Hardart (3:25) reminded me of one. I lived in Long Beach, on Long Island, NY, for a few months in '68, working for a publisher, got into NYC quite a bit. I ate at several well-known restaurants and diners, but never went into the automat. I remember a reference in a novel, TV show, or movie that Horn and Hardart was famous for their pies; you could buy it by the slice or the whole pie. When you poked your camera into that overturned boat at 6:09 and wondered if anything was living in it, _that_ reminded me of one of Louis L'Amour's "Early America" novels where a character took shelter in a grounded sailing ship (IIRC, he had to scare away an alligator). At 6:50 I thought, "First there was a TV show called 'Soul Train" and now he's checking out a 'Sole Boat!' " (Everybody _loves_ a pun, don't they?)
Oh, I think there was definitely pun intended. lol Glad to see a new video! Gale
Yeah Isn't New York great? ""I have a great idea y'all, Let's bury all of the garbage right next to the sea!"" This video makes me sick. I am however glad that you are showing this to everyone. Did I mention how great NY is yet?
Chris P.
Technically, all beaches are made of shards of broken glass. Sand (silica) is glass.
Nothing good comes from New York...Nothing and Noboby
at least it ain't plastics like our trash is full of
You're thinking of New York City; Which is separate and different from the rest of New York. As someone who lives upstate, I hate NYC.
RealNorthernFox do the rest of the nation a favor and just stay there
It is really sad that that one boat when down with so many souls on board. What a tragedy.
THIS IS ....... I DONT EVEN HAVE THE WORDS!!!! UPSETTING TO SAY THE LEAST!
Fascinating place. I hope to get there someday. I remember going to a Horn & Hardart automat as a kid in the 70s-all the sandwiches & desserts were in little glass cases, and you went thru the line cafeteria style. Very popular in its day.
That place needs a fresh lava flow to clean it up!
I loved you on M*A*S*H. Fuck Henry Blake.
*volcanic rock erodes*
Very cool bit of history, really dig that you include that in your story/adventure of this place. Thanks for taking along on your hike, great video Brother!
Old boats like this are a dime a dozen, usually on craigslist for free. Good luck with boat projects like this!!!
Fantastic video, as usual. Glad to see you are back!!!!
Fantastic to se you again. Now I know why we still have garbage coming up in New Jersey beaches
Bobby’s Papercraft That isn't the reason.
Pat Todd what is the reason?
"Now I know why we still have garbage coming up in New Jersey beaches." Because people in NJ toss crap in the water, beaches, streams just like everywhere else?
oh wow the sound of the water on the glass was really soothing.
This area was known as Barren Island before it was joined to the rest of Brooklyn by landfill. It also contained a fish processing plant for making fish oil. At it's height it had over 1000 residents. The last remaining residents had to leave in 1937 as the land was needed for a park. A golf course now stands where was the village once was. The garbage dumping started while there were still some residents living there and they did occasionally find treasure such as rings and watches.
A good informative & entertaining video. Thumbs up
All that junk being washed into the ocean.... Not great for the marine life 😕
I’m not sure why marine life would care about a bunch of bottles.
Neal F, glass and rubber are inert. Get a clue
the glass is not going to hurt anything and it's a hell of a lot better then the plastics we use and toss out everyday
I have heard of Dead Horse Bay. I would love to walk that beach and scavenger! Thanks for sharing.
I could spend weeks exploring and collecting items..
hoarder
same
lynden Mcdonald then better yet why don’t u go & help clean that shitty nasty dump stop unless ur a hoarder don’t see nothing nice about it FUCKkkkk that mayor he should b in jail for stealing there tax $$$
@@joseocasio7705 You're one of those who just don't get it.
I guess it helps to pick up old stuff of the beach and fix it up and sell it people.
That coffee cup is cool. That would be my daily drinker right there.
WallysPlace66 Leaded paint?
Yeah If that was present one surely wouldn't want to go sipping himself into madness LOL.
Always look forward to a new episode.
I would have picked up some of those pretty things. Thankyou for sharing.
What a great video! I love that kind of stuff. Thanks!
This is one of the most fascinating videos I've watched!! Never knew this place existed!! Very interesting Thanks!!
Vicki Paczesny Thanks Vicki, glad you liked it!
Ahh the boat of lost soles...
A jones ,,,,,,, Sounds like a good scary movie title
A jones slightly different wording but you beat me by a day
So that's where shoes end up when they die.
thank you for the adventure. This one was sad but interesting.
First of your work I've seen, great presentation and easy to watch and engage style. Well done going to have a peek at your channel now 👍
complete bottles from that era could be worth good money. and it would be financially impossible to clean this up as the old rubbish dump probably goes miles inland
Yup. Red glass beer bottles, leaded glass, depression era bottles, bitters bottles, etc.
BTW... those "butter knives" are awesome! I have only one, and it is my go-to knife on a daily basis. They can be sharpened. Hold on to those!
BorderlineNOS who sharpens a butter knife?
Your my fav CZcamsr you make the most in life
A really interesting place. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best wishes, Paul in England
Wow that place is a bottle collectors dream!
That was so cool, I've never heard of this place before, I love exploring, and you do it well. Thank you for letting us come along.
Sandy CA Thanks for watching!
@@MobileInstinct welcome to dead horse Bay we have puppehs 😂 😂 😂 😂
Went there a few years ago when visiting my brother in NYC. Found 2 very old, rusty and corroded guns but they make a cool wall display!
Great tour! Love it!
Pretty grim place. Interesting video though! I'd never heard of Dead Horse Bay.
Thanks for sharing!
Just Liam me niether but very disturbing too see all that garbage fuckkkk the mayor of that town he should b arrested for stealing tax $$$
WOW I would become such a hoarder from stuff on that beach!! It is scary that everything we touch will someday be in a landfill!!
Linda Mesa That's crazy to think about!
Linda Mesa thats the end product of Consumerism, trash! And the sad thing is that it doesnt have to be like this but we are stuck in this trap created by our gov.
Drive around your city. At some point every single house will be in the landfill.
Nice video. I really like this guys' manner and calm voice, plus the little sidebars of historical information. I will definitely check out the other videos.
When I was a young boy,early 1950's,my Mom and I would eat at Horn and Hardart.
A great and very interesting video!!!!
Why would they not put chain link fencing over the top to hold it all in place.
Here in Dundee Scotland we have reclaimed land but after all the garbage was mixed then thrown onto the mud flats when the tide goes out, a wall of crushed car cubes were built around the reclaimed land the cubes they then fused with rust into a huge solid wall it was then covered with large boulders of blue granite covered in chain link, then covered with soil and grassed over and small trees were also planted. The only signs that it was once a land fill are the pipes every 150 yards apart sticking about 3 feet out of the ground that go all the way down into the garbage below to allow methane and other gasses out. It has all turned out very pretty, but your beach is an eye sore also dangerous but I would love to roam your beach any day of the week.
Are these any earthenware crocks some of them are worth money if they are whole also intact 200 gram champagne bottles are also worth money.
The people who run the Berkeley, California land fill pick out anything worth money and sell it, on site. Their sign says:
"We reserve the right to serve refuse to anyone."
The more we Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, the less we have to bury, and the fewer resources we have to throw away.
Sounds like most of this was dumped between the 50's and 80's, and people really didnt care about pollution in America back then.
You mean back when people used brown paper bags for their groceries, and re-usable glass bottles for their milk?
Dundee is a horrible place haha. MON THE SCOTS
Bert Ramsay awesome idea maybe that scumbag of a mayor of that town will do something about it Unbelievable that today in America there’s still dump like this around 🖕🏽
For all the virtue signaling NYers do; this needs to be addressed/mitigated ASAP before even more trash enters the ocean!
Agreed. Just confirmed to be what a garbage filled rats cage I assumed it was all along
Oh god.
I remember Horn & Hardart's cafeterias...also called 'automats'..one would browse cubicles of food and open the glass door of the desired item.
I loved the automat as a kid. I think they closed the last one when I was about 7 or 8.
I grew up in Canarsie in the '80s and used to go exploring back there with my dad
trying to say he abused you over there??:D :P
Glad to see you back. That place is really interesting. I would not want to swim in those waters
REALLY appreciate the history you take the time to research.
What an interesting place. I can only imagine what's in the water. I'd like to go there someday soon.
4:07, that's a very old wrench probably from the early 1900's. Old tools like that are very collectable.
looks like one of those combo wrenches shipped with gas powered tools. could be 5 years old could be 50 years old.
The way it's made makes it old. It's made the old fashion way with two open ends, most likely different sizes, and the triangular part for fitting other tools to use as a bar. That and it's very thick, modern tools have much less material on the handles.
It looks like an erector set wrench....
I'd love to have the two butter knives from Horn & Hardart.
Horn & Hardart was a food services company in the United States, noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia and New York City. My father worked at the one in NYC after the war.
This brought in the era of vending machines in America.
in b4 "uh uuh uuh B-b-but thats t-t-theft!! "
Great video! Mad how people abandon boats - the stern drives on that middle one were still intact. You are great to watch 👍🏼😎
RichieT5 Thanks man
Wow, very cool.
Haven't been there since '92.
Awesome place for mudlarkers & treasure hunters! Those boats probably got beached in various storms...remember hurricane Sandy?
The Planet right after mankind has disappeared
Where's Wall-E?
Using a metal detector on that beach would be so fun. Great find.
David F You're probably right but it still looks like fun.
Thanks, I will probably never ever go to this place and had no clue something like this is in New York. Regards from Czech Republic
Wow. So freaking cool I'm going out if my mind!
Just found your channel. New subscriber. "I have a sinking feeling" I actually laughed out loud at my desk! My coworkers are giving me the side eye! Too funny!
Heather Deitch Haha glad you found me!
Mobile Instinct : You did a good job reporting this. Much better than the news channels who give a one second report.
Heather Deitch: cute!
Personally, I find it disgusting and should be cleaned up!
Kinda makes me sad
And what do you do with the trash you clean up? Put it in a new landfill? Seems redundant
Mikey Mike what would you do with the trash after you cleaned it up?
Chris Anderson recycle it.
Tero Tanninen if you only knew how much recycling gets placed in a landfill. Prime example is the city I live in. They gave everyone recycling bins. It was a total front for nothing, the city employees wouldn't sort the recycling. The only thing that they would keep was aluminum because to sort the newspapers/cardboard and glass was not profitable. Do you know what they did with it? All paper and glass went to the landfill. After hearing and seeing this, what's the use of anyone separating the trash and recyclables when they only go to the same place?
I can see someone showing that video you shot with America the Beautiful playing along with it. It truly guts my heart to see that.
thanks to share , bro ... greetings from Italy
