What's in the Hudson: It's not as gross as you think

The May 18, 2009 issue of New York magazine had one of the most interesting features I've ever read: a piece on the many things below the surface in the Hudson River.

Yes, some of the things are gross, such as the four-foot long worms and the bits of toilet paper they find after rainstorms (when the sewer gets flooded), but the Hudson also holds an artificial reef of old ice cream trucks teeming with lobster, millions of dollars' worth of silver and a shipwreck on top of another shipwreck.

It's a fascinating collection of information, interspersed with quotes from guys who spend their workday down there. Read it here.
