Everything about Fulton Ferry Brooklyn totally explained
Fulton Ferry is a neighborhood in the
New York City borough of
Brooklyn. The neighborhood is named for a prominent
ferry line crossing the
East River between
Manhattan and Brooklyn, and is also the
name of the
ferry slip on the Brooklyn side. The neighborhood is part of
Brooklyn Community Board 2.
Though boats and sail ferries called at these locations since the 18th century, the inauguration of
Robert Fulton's steam
Fulton Ferry Company in 1814 established his name on the ferry service, which revolutionized travel between the then
City of New York on
Manhattan Island and the
Village of Brooklyn and the rest of
Long Island.
The opening of the
New York and Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 assured the decline of this and other ferries on the East River. Fulton Ferry service ended in 1924.
The major thoroughfares leading to the Fulton Ferry from both landings were (and are) named Fulton Street; see
Fulton Street (Manhattan) and
Fulton Street (Brooklyn).
The
BMT Fulton Street Line and
BMT Lexington Avenue Line (or "Old Main Line")
elevated railways both ended at the Brooklyn side of the ferry, but were later moved with the majority of trips using the Brooklyn Bridge.
The only service at the pier currently are
New York Water Taxi trips to/from Manhattan.
