A heavenly ride: Staten Island Ferry’s newest vessel, the Dorothy Day, makes her maiden voyage
, the newest member of the Staten Island Ferry fleet, set sail on her inaugural ride with great fanfare on Friday morning.— the Ollis-class vessel named for the legendary, 20th century Catholic peace activist — transported a class of dignitaries for her maiden run, including City Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi and a number of Day’s family, friends and colleagues.
For Rodriguez, the name of the new vessel is fitting, considering that Day enjoyed taking the ferry while living on Staten Island.“We know that during her life, Day loved riding this ferry — and she was like Staten Islanders who know that a short ferry ride can serve as a peaceful, even meaningful, escape from the hustle and bustle of life in our city,” Rodriguez said.
“It is with joy and gratitude that we can remember Dorothy Day as her namesake ferry plies the beautiful waters of her beloved New York Harbor, carrying visitors and workers to their destinations on a daily basis,” Hennessy said.
