The Turtle is a special fall publication from Brain Washing from Phone Towers-a handmade booklet telling the story of Bushnell’s Turtle, the first submersible used in combat, first deployed in the waters off of Governors Island. Produced with the support of LMCC’s Swing Space Program on Governors Island. Edition of 50-ish, September 2013.

Brain Washing from Phone Towers is my seasonal pamphlet series, begun in 2010. You can learn more about the series here.
