Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pennsylvania Railroad to the Columbian Exposition Fire Island Light has been sighted and passed; the twin lights on the highlands of Navesink have come into view, and now Sandy Hook, with its waste of sand, its light-house, and its embryotic fortifications is lying off to your left. Ahead of you is the quarantine ship, from which all vessels arriving from infected ports are boarded, and three miles beyond you can see the quarantine stations on Swinburne and Hoffman Islands. Now the shores of Long Island on your right and Staten Island on your left begin gradually to converge, and a few minutes later you find yourself within what is known as the Narrows, the passage-way from the outer vestibule, or lower bay, into the beautiful and capacious harbor of New York. The health officer and the customs inspector have come aboard, and the latter is distributing blank forms upon which you are expected to make a statement of any dutiable goods that you may have among your luggage, the term dutiable applying to such articles as are not intended for your own personal use.
