Bridge Street Ferry

Bridge Street Ferry

The Bridge Street Ferry was a ferry route connecting Manhattan and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, United States, joining James Slip (Manhattan) and Bridge Street (Brooklyn) across the East River.

History

The ferry was established by the Brooklyn Ferry Company on July 1, 1864, running over a similar route to the old Roosevelt Street Ferry, which ran to Bridge Street until 1859.
