Duke Riley launches an antique submarine on a mission to do something profound (photo: Keylimesteve)
Why would you want to navigate a Revolutionary War-era submarine in the East River? Of all the water ways in the area, that seems like the most…foul. Perhaps we’ll learn more but Gothamist located artist/patriot Duke Riley’s Flickr page on the project. He’s got a website, too.
The answer to my first question seems to be that Mr. Riley has a fondness for the Queen Mary II, currently docked in the East River. The proximity to the cruise ship and randomness of his vessel is what got him and two other mariners arrested today. Still, I have many more why’s about this…
