The ferry as it approaches Port Imperial
at Weerhawken |

As the ferry moves out into the Hudson, there is a close-up
view of the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid. The Intrepid saw action in World War 2,
Korea and Vietnam. It was the Carrier used to pick up returning spacecraft. As
you may be able to see it is now a floating museum with aircraft parked on the
flight deck. Alongside it is a Concord Airliner waiting to be lifted on to
the flight deck. |

Looking back up the river, the George
Washington Bridge is in view. The busiest bridge in the world - two levels
with many lanes on each level,
Going on down the river, the Empire
State Building is in sight |

Another view of Manhattan
Skyline.
Moving on down, the ferry passes
Battery Park where Chris lived when he first went to New York |

When the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges
come into view, then it is time for the pilot to turn left in to Pier
11
Almost there now, Wall Street is just
up from the Pier |
