Description
Just above the docks are the 23rd Street ferries. It is here that you take the ferry to connect with the central, Erie and Lackawanna railroads to Jersey City. Most of the passenger traffic now goes through the Hudson tubes, leaving the ferries for vehicles, although it is an enjoyable ride across the river. The Hudson tubes come into Manhattan under the Hudson Terminal building. There are also great docks on the eastern side of the Island and along the Brooklyn shore. The Bush Terminal docks in South Brooklyn are equipped with the latest improvements for handling freight and are so large that three ocean steamships can lie at one time at the pier. Factories are being built near them so that products can be loaded directly on ships without the added expense of hauling.
