Satellite Picture of the East River

The East River is New York's Premier Waterway. The East River Should Be Called A Strait Because It Has No Source. A Dutch Explorer By The Name Of Adriaen Block Found The East River In 1613. He Named The Middle Point Of The River Helegat Meaning "Bright Passage". The Name That Stuck With It Was Hell's Gate Because Of The Whirlpools And Dangerous Rocks. Those Whirlpools And Dangerous Rocks Became Famous For Ruining Sailors Boats.
