About this audio guide
This guide to Whitehall Terminal opens with the Staten Island Ferry disaster of October 2003, when the MV Andrew J. Barberi struck a maintenance pier at full speed on its approach to St. George Terminal. It also covers the terminal itself, a free, round-the-clock crossing of New York Harbor running since 1817, past the Statue of Liberty.
