Description: Starboard view of the ferry Brinckerhoff under way. People and a car are visible on board her. A bridge can be seen in the background.
Note: Title supplied by cataloger. The Brinckerhoff was built in Newburgh, New York, 1899, for ferry service across the Hudson River (through 1941) from Peekskill to Highland, New York. From 1943-1949 she was a Bridgeport-based ferry owned by the city of Bridgeport. Information related to this image identifies the Brinckerhoff as a Groton-New London ferry, which appears to be an error. Dating of image is based on service in Bridgeport.
