That was great. Towards the end of the clip, before it hits Cadtle Clinton, and right around the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania RR loading docks the ship with the camera floats past probably where Battery Park City is and just at the border of where the WTC stood. Thanks for this clip and the link.

You really get a sense of the importance of NYC as a maritime center from the clip: liners, tugs, barges, ferries and even a sailboat. Dozens of piers, handling passenger boats, freight, connecting with rail lines. Great clip.
