Explore the dangerous history of Hell Gate on a walking tour through Randall’s Island, set along the East River between Manhattan and Astoria, Queens. Once one of the most feared waterways in New York, this narrow stretch was known for violent currents, hidden hazards, and shipwrecks.
From Randall’s Island, with Wards Island underfoot, the tour looks out toward Roosevelt Island, Rikers Island, and the North and South Brother Islands, uncovering stories tied to quarantine hospitals, prison complexes, and other institutions that defined the surrounding landscape. Encounters with piracy, disaster, and maritime engineering reveal a lesser-seen side of the city.
