The Face of America: Five O’clock Sailors. Each weekday afternoon at quitting time, some 10,000 New Jerseyites who toil in Manhattan board five ferries such as the ‘Red Bank’ for a one-mile crossing of the Hudson River. Their trip begins with the toot of a steam whistle at the Jersey Central Railroad’s downtown ferry terminal at the foot of Liberty Street. It ends at Jersey City, where the homebound voyagers make their train connections. Each of the 1100-ton vessels, which can carry 1470 passengers and fourteen vehicles. On clear days the twelve-minute ride provides an imposing view of the New York City skyline and the world’s busiest waterfront. About 9000 passengers ride on railroad commutation tickets. The rest pay twenty cents for a one-way trip – four times as much as for a similar ride on the Staten Island ferry.
