The Buttermilk Channel is a small tidal strait, approximately one mile long and one-fourth of a mile wide, separating Governors Island from Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay . At one time this channel could be crossed at low tide, and farmers would bring their cows over to Governor's Island for grazing. Historically it has been a busy shipping lane and the most convenient access to the Brooklyn waterfront. |
