1896: Staten Island Cows Gone Wild in New York City at the Pavonia Ferry Terminal » BuddsFerryPowlesHook (2)

Nathanial Budd, who built a new, extended dock called Budd’s Dock at Powles Hook in Jersey City in 1802, operated his ferry to Courtland Street in New York City without a license, but somehow he got away with this. In 1803 he advertised that he had good boats and careful ferrymen for carrying passengers, horses, cattle, carriages, goods, wares, and merchandise to and from the city. The ferry is noted in this 1779 illustration by the letter "G" at the bottom right of the point.
