Gothamist dug up [14 old Life Magazine photos of Brooklyn from 1943](http://gothamist.com/2010/06/30/flashback%5Fbrooklyn%5F1943.php?gallery0Pic=14&ref=bklyner.com#gallery). Among them was this shot of Sheepshead Bay. It makes me long for an irregular shaped watefront, naturally-hemmed, instead of our cold, sterile bulkheads and cement piers. Can anyone figure out the location? If I had to guess, I’d say this is over by Knapp Street, and that’s Gerritsen Beach in the background. But what do I know?
