Arrivals Busy Departures Pedestrians Pier Piers Terminal Terminals
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling Fall River Line terminals at Piers 18 and 19 on the North River in New York City, USA, around the turn of the 20th century. The large, imposing buildings with their distinctive red-and-white striped awnings stand proudly along the waterfront, serving as the gateway to and from the city for countless travelers. The scene is one of frenetic activity, with people hurrying about, some carrying luggage or waving goodbye to loved ones. Pedestrians navigate the busy streets, while horse-drawn carriages and automobiles make their way along the roads. The American flag flies proudly atop one of the terminals, a symbol of national pride and the spirit of exploration and travel. The Fall River Line, which operated from 1881 to 1938, was a major player in the transportation scene of the time, connecting New York City to various points along the eastern seaboard. The terminals at Piers 18 and 19 were the hub of this activity, with ships coming and going at all hours, bringing new arrivals to the city and sending off those headed to their next destination. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when travel was an adventure and the world seemed a little smaller. The Fall River Line terminals stand as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the American people, and serve as a reminder of the rich history of transportation in the United States.
