92nd Street Ferry picture

            "The 92nd Street Ferry linked the German communities of Yorkville and Astoria. People used the ferry to get to their jobs, to visit the cemeteries or to spend a day with friends and relatives in one of the local picnic parks. Scenes such as this 1922 funeral procession were common.
Earlier, in 1918, the ferry company had suspended service because of declining ridership. Public outcry from both sides of the river forced the city to take over and run the ferry unprofitably. In 1936 Robert Moses' Triborough Bridge opened for traffic. To eliminate the competition, Moses forced Mayor LaGuardia to end the ferry service permanently."
