A tourist in New York City with photo camera. Ferry Staten Island. Lib
Viaje obligado, más bien viaje recomendado, es el trayecto de apenas media hora que hace el Ferry de Staten Island.
Estas fotos recogen el momento que pasa cerca de la Estatua de la Libertad mientras, al fondo, se ve una de las imágenes más conocidas o reconocidas de Nueva York.

The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France.
The Staten Island Ferry is one of the last remaining vestiges of an
entire ferry system in New York City that transported people between
Manhattan and its future boroughs long before any bridges were built. In
Staten Island,
the northern shores were spiked in piers,
competing ferry operators braved the busy waters of New York harbor.
Today the Staten Island Ferry provides 22
million people a year (70,000 passengers a day not including weekend
days)
with ferry service between St. George on Staten
Island and Whitehall Street in lower Manhattan. The ferry is the only
non-vehicular mode of transportation between
Staten Island and Manhattan.
The Staten Island Ferry
is run by the City of New York for one pragmatic
reason: To transport Staten Islanders to and from Manhattan. Yet, the 5
mile, 25 minute ride also provides a majestic view of New York Harbor
and a no-hassle, even romantic, boat ride, for free! One guide book
calls it "One of the world's greatest (and
shortest) water voyages."
