Dominion of Liberty Island
Liberty Island has been the property of the United States government since 1800, and until 1944 served as a military installation called Fort Wood. It has been operated by the National Park Service since 1937. The built portions of Liberty Island (as well as 3 acres of nearby Ellis Island) are under the jurisdiction and are part of New York City. They are bounded completely by the municipal borders of Jersey City, New Jersey, which retains riparian rights to all its portions of the Hudson River and the Upper New York Bay. Historical circumstances have led to the unusual situation of Liberty Island being an exclave of one state, New York, located completely within another, New Jersey. The dominion of the island has variously been a subject of (or directly affected by) a land grant, a government directive, an interstate compact as well as several court cases and US Supreme Court decisions.

The statue is situated within the State of New York, although Liberty Island is entirely surrounded by New Jersey territorial waters. A boundary dispute between the two states regarding the island was resolved with an interstate compact, ratified by Congress, in 1834. The island has been entirely under the jurisdiction of the federal government since 1800. October 15, 1966

As seen Talk page, two editors who extensively collaborated on a major re-write of and who appear to be self-elected monitors of the Statue of Liberty article including a Depiction section, suggest that the sentence below (inclusive of appropriate refs) does not warrant inclusion in the paragragh about local uses of statue imagery. This editor contends that the history of a logo mentioned, originally used by the CNJ Railroad (whose landmark terminal on the the waterfront was a significant part of the history of the era of immigration), and now used as symbol of the current user of its former mainline, is at least, if not more significant than other items mentioned AND that the inclusion of the additional information in no way diminishes, but rather adds diversity to a paragragh currently focused on license plates and sports uniforms.

Depictions of the statue have been used by many regional institutions, as well. Between 1986 and 2000, New York State issued license plates featuring the statue. New Jersey issues a special Liberty State Park plate which highlights the statue. The Women's National Basketball Association's New York Liberty use both the statue's name and its image in their logo, in which the torch's flame doubles as a basketball. The New York Rangers of the National Hockey League depicted the statue's head on their third jersey, beginning in 1997. The National Collegiate Athletic Association's 1996 Men's Basketball Final Four, played at New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex, featured the statue in its logo. After 1965 the Central Railroad of New Jersey pictured the torso, head and torch in its logo A reminiscent image now is the symbol of New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line.

As it has been clarified that there is no criteria mass media coverage and that sources provided are reliable I have re-written the one paragragh in the depiction section discussing local uses of statue imagery restoring arbitrarily removed material.

Why would a logo that is 45 years old which has the honor of being passed from one rail line (whose main terminal is in the shadow of the statue) to another and is still very much in use, be less significant than an image used by a hockey team for one season 13 years ago or a college basketball series played 14 years ago? I am including the information and adding the year. As the previous the edit is self-described as an opinion, a request for comment would be appropriate should there be strong wish to not include the mention of the CNJ symbol. The very relevent impact of the statue and its shared location on the bay, clearly influenced railway's use of the imagery to create recognition for it's facilities. The current use by a rail line, and its subsequent continued reproduction in print and online relates to this history and is a living, ongoing example of a institution using statue depictions in NY/NJ that belongs in this paragragh. An image of the statue appears on some vehicle registration plates of New York and New Jersey. In 1986, the New York began issuing license plates featuring the statue; they have been being phased out since 2000. To commemorate the opening of Liberty State Park in 1976, New Jersey issued a plate that is still available. The Women's National Basketball Association's New York Liberty use both the statue's name and its image in their logo, in which the torch's flame doubles as a basketball. The New York Rangers of the National Hockey League depicted the statue's head on their third jersey. The National Collegiate Athletic Association's 1996 Men's Basketball Final Four, played at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, featured the statue in its logo. The Central Railroad of New Jersey, its main terminal at the waterfront opposite the statue pictured the torso, head and torch in its logo, which is still by its former mainline, New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line

The rail route was former main line of the now defunct Central Railroad of New Jersey, and used an image of its torso, head and arm as its logo.


 * As clearly stated and referenced:

"Starting in 1965, the Central Railroad of New Jersey, its main terminal at the waterfront opposite the statue pictured the torso, head and torch in its logo and is still used on its former mainline, now New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line."

Contract Signed for Floating Ferry Terminal

By DAVID W. DUNLAP

Construction is to begin this year on a permanent floating ferry terminal at Battery Park City, under a $35.7 million contract approved yesterday by the Port Authority.

The five-slip terminal, with a peaked and undulating fabric roof, will occupy a barge anchored near the New York Mercantile Exchange and World Financial Center, near the North Cove. It will have concession stands, bathrooms and a larger waiting area than the current two-slip terminal, which serves around 7,800 commuters a day.

Currently, the terminal is used by New York Waterway for service to Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City, N.J., and by New York Water Taxi and Liberty Park Water Taxi. An expanded terminal could handle service to Edgewater, N.J., La Guardia Airport, Kennedy Airport and Yonkers, among other places.

"This terminal will allow ferry service to grow, which will ease congestion at bridges, tunnels and on Manhattan streets," said Joseph J. Seymour, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in a statement.

The new terminal is to be completed in 2006, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the authority. It was originally to have opened in 2001. The current terminal - temporary in name only - opened in 1989.

Officials envision an interconnected mass-transit network stretching from the Hudson River to William Street, with passageways and concourses linking the ferry terminal, a permanent PATH terminal at the World Trade Center site and the nine subway lines under the planned Fulton Street Transit Center.

Yesterday, the Port Authority board took an important step in the ferry terminal project by awarding a $35.7 million contract to Spearin, Preston &amp; Burrows of Staten Island, the marine construction division of Modern Continental Companies of Cambridge, Mass.

Mr. Coleman said that the overall cost of the terminal project was $55.6 million, which includes engineering, design, planning, insurance, administration and utilities.

Robert I. Davidson, the Port Authority's chief architect, designed the terminal. The fabric roof, which will glow at night, is meant to recall canvas sails. In a 2002 interview, Mr. Davidson said the terminal was designed with as much glass as possible to preserve views from the Battery Park City esplanade.
