Pretty sure that second image is not from Washington – its a great shot, but I think that the Boston Public Library must have it mislabeled – New York or Boston perhaps?
agreed, there is no way that is DC. When did we have a train station connection to a port of that size?
That second photo is definitely the Battery, at the southern tip of Manhattan. That’s clearly the old Staten Island Ferry building.
I thought I was going crazy – but….great pic none the less
Yeah, that pic has been driving me nuts all morning trying to figure out where exactly it is.
You’re right, that second one is incorrectly labeled …
