☞ SEE: North Brother Island

Parallel to East Harlem, past the Bronx and in the East River, one will find an Island that most New Yorkers have forgotten. The City Concealed Series from Channel Thirteen explores the island once used for a quarantine hospital whose most notable resident was Typhoid Mary but today has gone to nature as a bird sanctuary amongst the old 19th century ruins. The video provides a fascinating looking at a truly lost island that few now have access to.
