Staten Island Ferry turns 100 years old

statenislandferry.jpgThe Staten Island Ferry turns 100 today.

When service started between Lower Manhattan and Staten Island, the ride cost a nickel. By 1997 it was up to 50 cents. But since then, it's been free.

Events are set all week to celebrate the anniversary though Ferry Fest.

For more info about the ferry, see NYC.gov, SIFerry.com and NY1's coverage of today's ceremony.
