rshsdepot
Park Row (to Brighton Beach via Fulton El and Brighton line) 1899-1907
Delancey Street (to Rockaway Park via Broadway and Fulton Els) 1909-1912
Chambers Street (to RP via same way) 1913-1917
Penn Station 1910-now

James Slip (Annex Ferry to Hunter's Point,LIC) 1859-10/1/1907..this would be
the Pier 13
East 34th St (Hunter's Point Ferry), 1859-3/3/1925

Before 1859 my data is missing except for the NY&MB, I don't know what
Manhattan landing the Atlantic Ave LIRR ferry 1843-1861 used, nor which NY
landing the South Side used
