  My parents contracted Art Hansen to build the house at the top of Steers Ave in 1963. Steers was still excavating the southern half of the pit back then. The sand barges were anchored in Northport Bay, and periodically a tug would bring in empty barges and tow away the loaded ones. The World Trade Center was built with concrete using Northport sand and gravel.
