The Kaiser's yacht is launched at Shooters Island
1902
Shooters Island, Staten Island, New York
The Townsend and Downey yard on this 43 acre island built Meteor III, a racing schooner ordered by Kaiser Wilhelm II from an American yard. Alice Roosevelt christened it on 25 February 1902 with her father the president, and the Kaiser's brother Prince Heinrich, standing by. The yard failed a few years later and the island was left to rot. The hulls are still in the mud and it is now a bird sanctuary closed to people.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
