Anable Basin, Industrial inlet in Long Island City, US
The Anable Basin extends 500 feet into Long Island City from the East River, providing waterfront access for local establishments and recreational activities.
The basin was carved in 1868 under the financing of Henry Sheldon Anable to support industrial operations, with workers discovering a mastodon bone during construction.
The Plaxall Gallery near the basin functions as an exhibition space, representing the transformation of this industrial area into a center for arts.
The waterfront location operates seasonally, remaining closed until April 2025, with typical operating hours from 3 PM to 10 PM on weekdays.
During excavation works for the basin in the 19th century, workers uncovered prehistoric remains, including a mastodon bone from the Ice Age period.
