Talk:Roosevelt Street Ferry

=What powered the ferries?= Were they always steamers, or when did they become so? Specifically, when Whitman wrote "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" in around 1856, what kind of vessel was it? (I appreciate that this ferry was some miles away, but all info happily received.) Rumiton (talk) 13:20, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I have my answer here []. The first Brooklyn steam ferry was established by Robert Fulton in 1814. Rumiton (talk) 14:31, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
