An emotionally disturbed man in a wet suit attempted to "seize" Governors Island yesterday by hoisting a pirate flag - sparking a massive response by cops and the Coast Guard.
His face covered with black makeup, Nash claimed to have swam to the island, even though he was dry when cops found him. There was no oxygen tank or mask with his wet suit.
Nash told the Daily News he was "trying to seize Governors Island for the Blue Tulip Party."
"It's a political organization I started," Nash added, mumbling about "Indians" and "reparations" as his motives for trespassing.
A woman who answered the telephone at Mr. Nash's Virginia home and identified herself as his mother said he "has been swimming since he was a child."
