So one day, October 3rd, we took the #1 train down to South Ferry and then the Staten Island Ferry to Staten Island, partly for the views, partly to check out Staten Island itself, but mostly for the views. It was an extraordinary once-in-a-lifetime trip.
 |
| The older Whitehall ferry terminal...art nouveau? |
 |
| Brooklyn Bridge; or possibly some other bridge |
 |
| Rearview view |
 |
| Fort Williams, Governor's Island |
 |
| Sister ship |
 |
| Actually, Staten Island is a lot further away than, say, New Jersey |
 |
| The way to the open sea |
 |
The stevedore/longshoremen/whatever strike had just ended, so this
behemoth is probably raising steam to head in to the dock |
 |
| Cleared for landing, on approach |
 |
| Manhattan, so far away |
 |
| Neoclassical architecture on Staten Island |
 |
| French cuisine |
 |
| Unfinished business |
 |
| On the return to Manhattan, a view of the Brooklyn Tower |
