300 Jobs And Several Crazy Welsh Engineers Later, Red Hook Is Booming

How was the first season of cruise ships docking at Red Hook go? Pretty good, I’d say:

Even if the terminal hasn’t transformed Red Hook into a gleaming tourist attraction, there have been some small victories, local say.

“We got a crowd of crazy Welsh engineers every nine days when the Crown Princess [another ship that calls Brooklyn home] came in,” said Audrey Reynolds, a bartender at the Bait and Tackle bar, one block from the terminal.

“They drink a lot and get super-messed up, but it’s good for the bar.”

And to think that people were worried!
