@zara_leex: Just beyond the New York City skyline sits an abandoned island with a disturbing past. North Brother Island was once home to Riverside Hospital, where people with contagious diseases were isolated from the city—including the infamous “Typhoid Mary.” But in 1904, the island became the backdrop to an even greater tragedy when the burning General Slocum reached its shores. More than 1,000 people would lose their lives. Today, the hospital sits abandoned, its crumbling buildings slowly disappearing beneath the trees. New York City is full of places people pass every day without knowing the darkness hidden nearby. Would you explore North Brother Island if you were allowed? 👀 #DarkHistory #NorthBrotherIsland #NewYorkHistory #NYCHistory #AbandonedPlaces
