    Intriguing photos, Ray.I visited that area of NY years back. It's certainly vastly different now, than when photographers made these. Castle Garden was also the entry point for immigrants to the US for some years, before Ellis Island.

      I particularly like the illustration of Manhattan. Thanks for the added information, Jonathan.
