Bridge Street Ferry

The ferry was established by the Brooklyn Ferry Company on July 1, 1864, running over a similar route to the old Roosevelt Street Ferry, which ran to Bridge Street until 1859.^[1][2][3] The route was discontinued in early 1874, due to the failure of a bill to improve Bridge Street.^[4]

Today, the site of the Bridge Street Ferry Pier is within a Con Ed substation. The site of the James Slip Ferry Pier is in the Alfred E. Smith Houses a NYCHA housing complex next to the Brooklyn Bridge.
