Headed out from Staten Island, past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson!

This is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.  When it opened in 1962 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.  Because of the extreme length, the bridge engineers had to take the curvature of the planet into account in its design.  The tops of the towers are slightly farther apart then the bases.

These have been all pictures of our friends in front of the statue.  When they send us pictures of our boat we will insert them here.

This is Ellis Island.

Looks like a nice party barge in upper Manhattan.

This is the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid.  It is now a Sea, Air and Space Museum.

The George Washington Bridge.  It is a double layer bridge.  It opened in 1931 during the Great Depression.  The lower second deck (known as the "Martha Washington Bridge")  was added 30 years later.
