| 释义 |
The Catherine Ferry was a ferry route connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn in the United States, joining Catherine Street in Manhattan and Main Street in Brooklyn across the East River. The ferry, originally known as the New Ferry, was established on August 1, 1795 to supplement the Fulton Ferry (Old Ferry).[1] It eventually passed into the hands of Samuel Bowne, who sold it to Smith & Bulkley on March 24, 1852.[2] 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.[3][4] References1. ^Nathaniel Scudder Prime, [https://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 2. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Catharine Ferry|date = 29 March 1852|page=1}} 3. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Brooklyn Ferries|date = 10 December 1853|page=2}} 4. ^{{cite news | work = Brooklyn Daily Eagle | location = Brooklyn, NY | url = |title=Brooklyn Ferries|date = 18 July 1870|page=2}} 2 : East River|Ferries of New York City |
