Governors Island tour season coming to an end
 The mostly abandoned Governors Island, now open to the public part of the year, is about to wrap up "Set and Drift," described as a "summer-long project with art installations, radio transmissions, and video projections set among the Island's forts, mess halls, and officers' housing."
"Set and Drift" closes Aug. 13.
Sept. 2 will be the last weekday tour of the island, but Saturday public access will still be available Sept. 3 and 10, according to the National Park Service. Ferry tickets are $6 for adults; $3 for children.
Tours will resume in June 2006.
