1886: Uno and Billy, the Wyoming Bear and Harlem Goat That Wreaked Havoc at the Oak Point Pleasure Grounds in the Bronx » 2376-Third-Avene-1932

Rowing partners Percy Nagle and Jim Pilkington owned the Golden Oar saloon at 2376 Third Avenue in Harlem (at that time, the building was a long-narrow frame structure). Professional scullers Robert Wallace and George W. Lee took over the business in May 1887, and renamed it The Ship. The men had to abandon ship after only a few months when the business failed to make money. This photo taken in 1932 shows 2376 Third Avenue in 1932 (building on right).
