Ferry to Staten Island
Liberty Island |
St. John's. George TerminalSt. John's. George Terminal is the southern terminal of the Staten Island ferry; it only reaches Whitehall Terminal, on the southern end of Manhattan, near Battery Park. The Staten Island ferry offers a 24-hour service between the terminals. Ferries usually operate at intervals of 15 to 20 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes in other hours. |
Whitehall TerminalThe Whitehall terminal was originally opened in 1903 as a new transport center for the Staten Island ferry, which was in the process of being acquired by the city government. It was renewed from 1953 to 1956 at a cost of $3 million, but in the 1980s, it was in a state of deterioration. The Whitehall terminal was burned in a fire in 1991, and was completely rebuilt and rededicated in February 2005 as an important integrated transport centre. |
Statue of Liberty View Point |
The famous free ferry going to Staten island is the way many tourists use to see the statue of freedom from nearby without paying money or also to give you a pretty nice boat ride through New York for free.
