Description
Leaving the Custom House we come out upon Battery Park, which to me is one of the most interesting spots in New York City. Small docks are scattered along the water front at Battery Park which are used by the Ellis Island Ferry and by pleasure boats going to nearby beaches and resorts. But the lawn of the park goes almost to the Water's edge. Standing on this lawn and looking out across the harbor one sees almost every craft imaginable: war ships, merchant ships, sailing boats of every size and description, wooden ships, steel ships, air ships, barges, motor boats, launches, trim private yachts, ferries, the great ocean passenger liners, saucy little tugs rushing here and there as if the business of the world's shipping rested wholly with them.
