Battery Maritime Building

The Battery Maritime Building is a building by the pier in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It was where ferry services between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn were operated from 1909 to 1938. The building was constructed in 1907. There was a small wharf here called Schreijers Hoek. This was where Dutch colonial ships ply between Manhattan and the Netherlands. Today only the Coast Guard use the piers here for services to Governors Island.
