208 The Story of The Bronx 



Creek at its junction with the Hudson River. Upon the 

 Second Avenue and the Putnam bridges are free public foot- 

 ways, but no roadways for vehicles. 



For several years, the only public ferry connecting the 

 Borough with any of the other boroughs was the one running 

 from Port Morris, at East 138th Street, to North Beach and 

 College Point in the borough of Queens. This was formerly 

 known as Bowery Bay Beach, and it is a great place of resort 

 for people who like the entertainments that are provided in a 

 place of the kind. The ferry was established in September, 

 1903. A ferry, known as the Twin City Ferry, was established 

 between Clason's Point and College Point, in April, 1912.
