EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1909, showcases a Municipal Ferry Boat making its way from Queens to Manhattan in New York City, USA. The image offers a glimpse into the past of America's most iconic metropolis, when ferries played a significant role in the daily transportation of its residents. The Municipal Ferry Company, which operated this particular ferry, was an essential part of the city's public transportation system. Established in 1895, it provided affordable and efficient ferry services to New Yorkers, connecting the boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. The ferry in this image is crossing the East River, its white hull cutting through the water's rippling surface. The Manhattan skyline can be seen in the background, with the iconic buildings of the time, such as the Flatiron Building and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower, standing tall against the sky. The scene is bustling with activity. People can be seen on the deck of the ferry, some waving or taking photographs, while others are busy loading and unloading cargo. The hustle and bustle of the city is palpable, even from this vantage point on the water. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation in New York City and the United States as a whole. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, when ferries were an integral part of urban life and the daily commute. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the city's past and the role that transportation has played in shaping its identity.
