Here's a better plan:
The North River Historic Ship Society
Working Harbor Committee
Sunset Hidden Harbor Tours ® On Circle Line boats
Wednesdays, 27 July & 3 August - 6 to 8 PM
2 hour narrated tours of the working waterfronts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and
New Jersey, past present and future * with free copy of the 2005 HarborGuide
and experienced NY Harbor narrator.
Tour includes
West side of Manhattan * Hudson River Park * The Battery * South Street
Seaport * Container port at Atlantic Basin, Brooklyn * New Passenger Ship
Terminal at Red Hook * Governors Island * Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island *
New Jersey's new waterfront
Tours leave from Circle Line's Pier 83 (at the west end of 42nd Street)
[A/C/E - 42nd St station + walk or M 42 bus]
Prices: Adult: $20 - Senior, Child, WHC member: $15
Thanks to the generosity of Circle Line and ticket buyers, proceeds will be
used to sponsor free Hidden Harbor Tours for non-profit youth organizations.

If there's a group of E-Lers or other railroaders interested in getting
together for one of these, let me know.
