I See a Ship in the Harbour - Part 1 - The Living Harbour
New York, NY - Franny Wentzel - Monday, August 2nd, 2010 : goo A United Fruit Company banana boat

Throughout its history, New York Harbour was a living entity unto itself...

...teeming with activity all along its shores

Clipper ships once disgorged their cargoes at the foot of Wall Street


The East River regatta...






The Hudson River seethed with activity as well



Sometimes there were quiet moments



A few of the working vessels - tugboats





Fishing boats



Barges


Ferries and Excursion boats









And everyone's favourites - boxcars on barges
