TIMEWARP TUESDAY! FULTON ST. FERRY TERMINAL (1900 v. 2014)

“Fulton Street, north side, at Water Street, showing the old Fulton Street Ferry Terminal and the Brooklyn Bridge tower. This is also a street car line terminal.”

So reads the back of this ca. 1900 photograph. At that time, the ferries would land at the foot of Fulton Street and the streetcars – then horse-drawn – would take passengers to various parts of the borough.

Here is a picture of this spot today:
