People in my group: Bria, Shakeema, Guzman

Observations:

As we were exploring Brooklyn Bridge Park, there was a specific area we visited which was the waterfront. As we were on the waterfront, my group discovered there was a poem written across the barrier from the water by Walt Whitman called “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”. This poem, that may resemble a song is an ode to the borough. Also, while walking around the waterfront, we found there were stones with pictures embedded into the ground that provided the history of when people first started taking the ferry to Brooklyn and showing where it all began.
