ATHENA which was on loan from the Block Island Ferry. She arrived at Beach 108th Street at about 8:45 PM. Service had begun two years earlier in response to the damage to the subway line caused by Hurricane Sandy. The boats ran between Beach 108th Street and Pier 11 in Manhattan with a stop at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Ferry service to the Rockaways resumed on May 1, 2017 when NYC Ferry began operations.
