The Biplane Above 77 Water Street
In this under-one-minute vertical reel, Kate Broug uncovers the story of the World War I–era Sopwith Camel replica that once crowned 77 Water Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. Installed in 1969, the steel aircraft sat on an artificial rooftop runway complete with landing lights, giving people in neighboring skyscrapers something more imaginative to see than mechanical equipment. Kate researched, scripted, hosted and edited the piece, transforming one of New York City’s most unusual architectural details into a concise story for mobile audiences.
