On any given Saturday in the summer, Carolina Salguero watches the hordes of mostly young Manhattanites disembark from the New York City ferry at Atlantic Basin, a South Brooklyn inlet serving Red Hook. Salguero is shipkeeper of the Mary A. Whalen, the rusty, 1930s-era red oil tanker permanently moored in the basin, just opposite Governor’s Island. “I look up, I’m like, ‘Oh my god, here come another 150 of them,” Salguero said of the day-trippers.
