The Binghamton is a former ferryboat that operated from 1905 to 1967 transporting commuters between Manhattan and Hoboken Terminal. It was built for the Hoboken Ferry Company by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company and was designed to carry 986 passengers plus vehicles to the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad lines at Hoboken Terminal. The 187 ft. Binghamton is permanently moored in Edgewater and being used as a restaurant. The pictures show the ferry in action in the mid-1960's, then docked in 1968 just after service ended, and in its new life, refurbished into a restaurant in 1981 at Edgewater. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
