As the boat pulls away, look back at the towers of Lower Manhattan, one of the world's most famous skylines. To your left, across the water, is the Brooklyn waterfront. The island just ahead on your left is Governors Island, a former military post that's now a park and national monument, open all year.

Now look to the right side of the boat. There she is: the Statue of Liberty. She was designed by the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, with an iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel, and dedicated in 1886. From the ground to the tip of her torch she measures about three hundred and five feet. The torch has been closed to visitors since 1916. To her right is Ellis Island and its red-brick immigration station. This is the best moment for photos, so take your time.

Ahead of you, if the day is clear, you'll see the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, which links Staten Island and Brooklyn across the entrance to the harbor. We're approaching the St. George Terminal on Staten Island.
