One rendering places the pool just northeast of the Brooklyn Bridge (it's built out of stone, so very obviously not the Manhattan Bridge. The other rendering places the pool just southwest of the Brooklyn Bridge (also visible in the rendering, but from the opposite direction).
The article states, both in text and in an image caption: "The pool will be located just north of the Manhattan Bridge." Which doesn't match either of the renderings.
So where is the pool actually located? The Navy Yard starts pretty soon after DUMBO, so I guess it's going to be on the shore of DUMBO somwhere?
The article also states "the Manhattan Bridge, which connects Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood to Brooklyn’s Dumbo". Which is wrong. The Manhattan Bridge connects Lower East Side/Chinatown/FiDi to DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass).
Would it be so hard to get a story even vaguely correct before publishing?
