 The Battery Maritime Building site is where ferry services between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn were operated from 1909 to 1938. The building was constructed in 1907. There was a small wharf here called Schreijers Hoek. This was where Dutch colonial ships ply between Manhattan and the Netherlands. Today only the Coast Guard use the piers here for services to Governors Island.

How to reach the Battery Maritime Building

Take the 1 train to the South Ferry Station. Note however that the Battery Maritime Building is not open to the public, so you can only view it from the outside.
