The “barge” part of Bargemusic — Brooklyn’

The “barge” part of Bargemusic — Brooklyn’s iconic floating concert hall — is no more.

On Monday, the rusting 19th-century barge was towed from its slip at Fulton Ferry Landing near the Brooklyn Bridge, to meet its end at a shipyard in Staten Island.

More than 5,000 concerts — mostly classical, with American contemporary and jazz mixed in — had been performed inside the cozy, wood-paneled hall with its red-brick fireplace, delighting music lovers and launching musical careers since 1977.

The co-founder of the Bed-Stuy aquarium, a makeshift goldfish pond that went viral, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Jan. 3, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced.

Hajj Lovick, 48, was convicted last month of second-degree attempted murder for opening fire outside Lover’s Rock, a neighborhood bar, and striking a 51-year-old man in the leg early in the morning on June 15, 2023.

A self-propelled liftboat — which can lift itself out of the water on three cylindrical legs and transform into a suspended platform — sailed into Gowanus Bay last week.

“LEGS III” — an offshore work boat, initially used in the Gulf oil patch and then for marine towing and salvage — will take on a third life in service of the environment, as a collective resource for environmentally-focused nonprofits and schools.

The vessel will replace the current flat-deck barge hosting the RETI Center nonprofit.
