The fish-shaped SeaGlass Carousel opens in the Battery
Conceived by Warrie Price, founding president of the Battery Conservancy, and designed by the firm WXY with the artist George Tsypin, the carousel opened in August 2015. Riders sit inside glowing fish that seem to be made of sea glass, and the machinery is hidden under the floor, so there is no central pole. The $16 million project nods to the New York Aquarium, which occupied nearby Castle Clinton from 1896 to 1941.
