EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the Municipal Ferry, City of New York, making its way through the waters of New York Harbor in the early 1900s. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1908, showcases the ferry in full sail, with the towering skyline of New York City in the background. The City of New York was a passenger ship operated by the Municipal Ferry Company, which provided essential transportation services for commuters and visitors between Manhattan and various boroughs and neighboring states. The photograph, a dry plate glass negative measuring 8 x 10 inches, was taken by an unknown photographer and is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bustling activity of the harbor and the iconic scenery that has long defined New York City. The City of New York ferry was a vital part of the public transport system during the early 20th century, and this photograph provides a unique perspective on the role of water transport in the city's history. The image has been preserved by Detroit Publishing Company, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the rich heritage and history of New York City and its transportation systems.
