A Plan for a New Consolidated Passenger Ship Terminal in the Port of New York
New York: Port of New York Authority, 1967. The Port Authority’s response to Mayor Lindsay’s request for a major study of passenger ship operations in the Port of New York and to formulate a program for the development of modern, efficient and attractive terminal facilities for passenger ships on Manhattan’s Hudson River waterfront. Even though trans-Atlantic passenger travel was diminishing, the traffic on cruise ships was increasing enough to warrant at least a study of improved facilities (which were never built). Ironically the proposed new piers, as rendered, almost resemble exactly modern cruise ships in size and design; any passenger ships shown are now ghosts. First edition. 28 cm; 102 pp.; illustrated from photographs, plans, and drawings. Owner’s name to front cover; else a very good copy in wire-bound wrappers. Item #012814
