Every ferry since has been an abysmal failure (especially the Barberi-class vessels, but don&#39;t get me started on those hunk-of-junks). This video was shot throughout 2021, after I realized that the clock was ticking on the JFK. </p> </blockquote> </section> <section> <p> <small><em>The post <a href="https://viewing.nyc/watch-an-ode-to-the-jfk-the-staten-island-ferry/">[WATCH] An Ode to the JFK - The Staten Island Ferry</a> appeared first on <a href="https://viewing.nyc/">Viewing NYC</a></em></small> </p> </section> </div> </article> urn:uuid:79567e96-6197-4ef2-b5ed-c160cee35045 2022-01-23T10:00:00-05:00 2026-03-29T20:01:44-04:00 Sunday, January 23rd, 2022, Good Morning!
