THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

August 3, 2003

So it was:

The ship set sail at 1:45 PM, departing the famous historic (Gold Coast) Northport Village dock, on Long Island.

The trip was enlightening and entertaining...
Good fine people occupied the boat along with family members and friends.  

Old acquaintance reunited some people.

A time of fun, enjoyment and nice conversation with new friends.   Beautiful shoreline views and historical places could be seen from the boat on Long Island sound in route to the Statue of Liberty.

A great cruise and good time for passengers aboard...

Special thanks to our wonderful hosts:  Sonny, Butch, and Mike - sincerely dedicated to everyone's complete satisfaction and benefiting:

The Northport American Legion and community...

Note:  This cruise is no longer available!

P.S.

Along the way, we crossed a water way known as Hell Gate.  This is where the Long Island Sound meets the East River and the Harlem River connects.

I thought about a story my mother told me -
She said when her mother was a little girl, about eight years old, she was supposed to go on a boat trip to:

Locust Grove, Eaton's Neck, LI.

However, grandma, was not feeling well after giving birth a few weeks prior.  They decided not to go on the boat that day (June 15th 1904), which had been a family event for years.  That boat was the ill-fated 'General Slocum.

This is the story of a disaster (remembered) 100 years ago.  The ship went down in less that 2 hours at hell gate on June 15, 1904 and 1,021 passengers died that day...
