Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 343rd day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1919, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Strike Paralyzes Harbor Traffic; Ferries Tied Up.”
The article focused on an extreme harbor strike among the boroughs, which delayed the mail and threatened a food crisis.
