Daniel Katzive, a Manhattan-based journalist, sent along this batch of photos and text, capturing the arrival at the last stop of the 33-day voyage itinerary. For a review of all 28 stops, click here. See the notes at the end of this post.

About the photo of the flotilla juxtaposed with the Hoboken terminal below, Dan comments that it hints at the fact that the New Jersey stations of the long-defunct West Shore Railroad would eventually provide much faster passenger travel between the Great Lakes terminals at Buffalo and greater New York City.

After passing Hoboken, the flotilla turned to the Manhattan side.

To me, this is an ideal photo for ending this series; it shows the replica Seneca Chief, in front of yet another historic vessel USCGC Lilac, itself in front of WTC-1. If you’re in the area, you can see two exhibits related to the bicentennial: the one aboard Seneca Chief and another aboard Lilac.

Here C. L. Churchill and Sal II maneuver Seneca Chief into the berth at pier 26.

Here the bicentennial journey ends, but I invite more commentary on the voyage as well as photos and reportage from along the entire itinerary. The goal of this correspondents series was to document in a single CSNY location as much of the bicentennial journey as we could. Given that, the more steps along the way we can weave into the series no matter that they be out of chronological order, the more complete our documentation will be.
