The 23rd Street Ferry Terminal at the foot of the street on the Hudson River

(1900)]]

In 1869, Pavonia Ferry opened a terminal on the shore of the North River (Hudson River) at Pier 63 in Manhattan in New York City., at the foot of [[23rd Street (Manhattan) in Manhattan. The ferries, operated by the Erie Railroad traveled to its Pavonia Terminal on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City.[1] By the beginning of the 20th century ferries were already aging and deteriorating under heavy use,[2] and in 1942 the terminal itself was demolished.[3]
