OT: Google Maps Help
Can anyone tell me what the strange pier is in the Gowanus Bay NY?
If you find Governors Island, follow it south along the shore line and you see a odd looking pier with 4 of what looks like floating barges that have alot of red,yellow and blue pipes running all over the place. Anyone have a clue what that is?

I've had a look at Google Maps but I cannot see anything that resembles what you've mentioned. However, this could be because some maps have sections that aren't shown to viewers outside the US, we see "sanitized" versions (i.e. censored) instead.
Either that or you need to be a whole lot more specific with your location information. Could you perhaps post a screen-cap of the thing you're describing?

I question it, looking at some of the large objects with, what in my eyes, looks like a Ford Transit van parked on the slipway to it, I have seen them further towards the V(something) Narrows Bridge, but that is an interesting article, it helps with something I was planning for a TMP scenario (if I can ever get players)

Looks like there is another a bit further down too, just without all the colored pipes running every where.
EDIT: I wonder where I can find the pipeline maps that feed the NYC area....

I wonder how many terrorist watch lists we're on now with all this talk of power generation, pipelines and nukes?
