South Ferry is at the southern tip ofManhattan in New York City and is the embarkation point forferries toStaten Island (Staten Island Ferry, through theStaten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal) andGovernors Island.Battery Park, abutting South Ferry on the west, has docking areas for ferries toLiberty Island andEllis Island. Its name is derived from the more southerly route of service of the historicalSouth Ferry Company in comparison to theFulton Ferry.

History

[edit]

The name "South Ferry" derives from a more southerly route of service than previous ferry lines between what were then the separate cities of New York andBrooklyn, rather than from being at the southern tip of Manhattan.

The "Old Ferry" (later renamed theFulton Ferry), crossed between Manhattan and Brooklyn from streets that in each city would eventually be renamed "Fulton Street". The "New Ferry" (also called theCatherine Ferry) crossed on a more northerly route than the Old Ferry, between Catherine Street in Manhattan, and Main Street in Brooklyn.

As theCity of Brooklyn grew, the area south of Atlantic Avenue, known asSouth Brooklyn, began to become developed, but the area lacked easy access to the ferry terminals in the northern parts of that city. Calls for a new ferry on a more southerly route were first brought up before the New York City Council in 1825, the proposal being commonly known as the "New South Ferry" since 1826,^[1] but progress stalled until the issue was taken up by the City of Brooklyn in 1833.^[2] TheSouth Ferry Company established the South Ferry on May 16, 1836 to connectLower Manhattan to the foot ofAtlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and the month-oldBrooklyn and Jamaica Railroad (renamed Atlantic Avenue Railroad, later the Atlantic Avenue Railroad'sstreetcar line, later still part of theSouth Side Railroad of Long Island, now theAtlantic Branch of theLong Island Rail Road) through theCobble Hill Tunnel. "South Ferry" was also the name of theBrooklyn landing and ferry house. In the 20th and early 21st centuries, the Brooklyn landing site served cargo as Brooklyn Piers 5 and 6, now part ofBrooklyn Bridge Park

The Fulton Ferry Company, which then operated only the Fulton Ferry, merged with the South Ferry Company in 1839 to form theNew York and Brooklyn Union Ferry Company.^[3]^[4]

Transportation connections

[edit]

South Ferry is served by severalNew York City Subway stations.

South Ferry–Whitehall Street, a station complex consisting of three components:
- New South Ferry on theIRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line; serving the1 train
- South Ferry loops on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and theIRT Lexington Avenue Line; (there are two platforms, both are closed to passengers; the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line temporarily reopened to provide replacement service from 2013 to 2017, after the new station was flooded byHurricane Sandy.)
- Whitehall Street on theBMT Broadway Line; serving theN, R, and W trains
Bowling Green on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line; serving the4 and 5 trains (some Lexington Avenue Line trains stopped atSouth Ferry until 1977)
Broad Street on theBMT Nassau Street Line; serving theJ and Z trains

Also serving the ferry terminal directly is theM15 Select Bus Service route via a bus loop directly at the front door of the terminal. TheM15,M20 andM55 local routes stop on nearby streets.^[5]

Starting in 1877, South Ferry also hosteda four-track elevated terminal with access to all Manhattan elevated train lines running upSecond,Third,Sixth andNinth Avenues. The station was closed in 1950 after the cessation of Third Avenue Elevated service.^[6]
