Subway Reefs

The New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) deposited thousands of retired subway cars into the Atlantic, and used them to create artificial reefs off the coasts of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia.

The reefing program began with the mass decommissioning of “Redbird” cars in 2000, followed by the “B-Division/Brightliner” cars. From 2001 to 2003, 1,269 carbon steel Redbird cars were cleaned, stripped to the shells, and sunk. From 2008 to 2010, 1,311 of the stainless steel “B-Division/Brightliner” cars settled on the ocean floor. The program came to a close on Earth Day in 2010.

No passengers were harmed during the process (yet some complained.)

“The vane squeaks,” said Reverend Paul. “Fix it.”

Church of St. Bartholomew (aka Saint Bart’s) is in the town of Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England. The church’s origins date back to the medieval period.

    • The first mention of the church appeared around 1220AD.
    • The earliest surviving part is the tower, which dates from the 13th century.
    • The main body of the present church was largely built around 1300AD (early 14th century in Early English Gothic style), with the spire added in the early 14th century, and other parts (like aisles) from the later 14th century.
