It's impossible to know why Movietone's crew took this film of the arrival and departure of a New York ferry boat. But it's wonderfully moody and atmospheric, with the coming and going of people, cars, trucks, horses and carriages, accompanied by the ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles. The boat seen here is the BRONX, one of five ferries purchased by the city in 1905 after it took over the Staten Island ferry service. The BRONX was scrapped in 1941.
