- Catherine Ferry (East River)
The Catherine Ferry was a ferry route connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York City, United States, joining Catherine Street (Manhattan) and Main Street (Brooklyn) across the East River.
History
The ferry, originally known as the New Ferry, was established on August 1, 1795 to supplement the Fulton Ferry (Old Ferry).[Nathaniel Scudder Prime, [http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC01236721&id=elEOAAAAIAAJ A History of Long Island: from its first settlement by Europeans, to the year 1845] , pages 376 to 380] It eventually passed into the hands of Samuel Bowne, who sold it to Cyrus P. Smith and William F. Bulkley on March 24, 1852. [cite BDE|title=Catharine Ferry|md=March 29|y=1852|page=1] Being unable to compete with the one-cent fare adopted by the Brooklyn Union Ferry Company in November 1850, it was sold to the new Union Ferry Company of Brooklyn (the successor to the Brooklyn Union) in December 1853.
