The Staten Island ferry arrives

The Staten Island Ferry is that strangest of things - an extremely functional public transport service route that also doubles as one of New York's most popular tourist attractions as it's free and it takes you past the Statue of Liberty. So the makeup of ferry travellers varies in percentage of tourists to locals depending on the time of day you take it - here it is docking into Staten Island at the end of its brief 20-minute trip.
