Английская Википедия:Cortlandt Street Ferry Depot
Cortlandt Street Ferry Depot was the main ferry terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the West Shore Railroad on the North River (Hudson River) in lower Manhattan. The railroads operated ferries to their terminal stations on the Hudson River waterfront in New Jersey at Exchange Place and Weehawken, respectively.
The depot was next to Liberty Street Ferry Terminal from which the Central Railroad of New Jersey operated its Communipaw ferry to Communipaw Terminal.
History
As early as July 1764[1]Шаблон:Rp a ferry began operating from Paulus Hook to Mesier's dock which was located at the foot of Courtland Street (where Cortlandt Street Ferry Depot would be built).[2]Шаблон:Rp Almost immediately and for several decades subsequently, a complicated series of legal battles broke out over who should operate the ferries, where the crossing(s) should be located and at what rate passengers and other cargo should be charged for the journey.[1]Шаблон:Rp
The first steam ferry service in the world began operations in 1812 between Paulus Hook and Manhattan[3] and reduced the journey time to a then remarkable 14 minutes.[1]Шаблон:Rp With the arrival of the railroad station at Paulus Hook in 1834 and the arrival of the Morris and Essex Railroad service on October 14, 1836[2]Шаблон:Rp the number of passengers and the value of the Jersey City Ferry continued to increase.
The terminal was located one block west of the Ninth Avenue Elevated's Cortlandt Street Station which operated from 1874 until 1940.
