The History of the Staten Island Ferry
Рет қаралды 2,564
Жыл бұрынMost people do not realize that ferries have existed to and from Staten Island since the time of the Lenape. As the island evolved and its transportation system became more elaborate the ferries that operated also changed. This video features more than 400 years of Staten Island ferry service, and it includes the entrepreneurs involved, the ferryboats themselves, and the landings that existed all around this once isolated island.
This lecture by historian Patricia Salmon originally aired on January 29, 2021.

I remember riding on the Mary Murray when I was a child.

There's a vast amount of history here...and so many names familiar because there are streets named after many of the people who are mentioned. Thanks for sharing this INFORMATION with us, and the world! I love how Ms. Salmon rarely, if ever, refers to her notes! She's having a pleasant, one-way conversation with friends. Nothing fancy, no hype, just plain talking. It's very refreshing. She really kept my attention (not an easy thing to do).

A lot of talking head … And not enough good visuals. … It needed to be said …

I stopped watching immediately after the opening scene of the woman taking off the nonsensical mask. Give us a break!
