Whitehall Terminal (Staten Island Ferry/Former Terminal Site)

The Whitehall Terminal at 4 Whitehall Street has long served as Manhattan's ferry terminal for the Staten Island Ferry, with ferry service across New York Harbor dating back to the 18th century; the current terminal facilities have been rebuilt and modernized multiple times. The ferry terminal is a key piece of the city's transportation history and remains a free, high-frequency public transit link between Staten Island and Manhattan. The location has been central to commuter and maritime activity in Lower Manhattan for more than a century.
