>>>There is an old US Navy Hydrographic Office map from the WWI era that shows a floating submarine barrier or net placed at about that location (don't know that it was ever placed there but I suspect not). <<<
There was such a net during the Second World War in the Narrows between Brooklyn and Staten Island. The concrete anchors were and still may be piled in Bayonne south of the ex-Navy Base.
