Coney Island Creek : ウィキペディア英語版
Coney Island Creek

Coney Island Creek encompasses two sea inlets in Brooklyn, New York City, one separating Coney Island from the neighborhoods of Gravesend and Bath Beach, the other separating the neighborhoods of Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach. Prior to construction of the Shore Parkway in the 1950s, Coney Island Creek was a strait and a partial mudflat connecting Gravesend Bay and Sheepshead Bay, making Coney Island an actual island.
==History==
Coney Island Creek was minimally navigable and in the early 20th century the City of New York developed plans to widen, straighten and deepen it as the ''Gravesend Ship Canal''.〔(NYC Parks Dept ) Coney Island Creek Park〕 Those plans never came to fruition. Instead, a portion of the creek was filled in in 1962 with dirt from the construction of Verrazano–Narrows Bridge, making Coney Island a peninsula. The west entrance became a "ship graveyard" for dead and abandoned ships. At southern shore of the creek, a yellow submarine protrudes from the water. Built from salvaged metal in the late 1960s, it was never able to maintain an even keel and was abandoned.
