liding smoothly along the
water, the boat headed
south and rounded the
bend that is the tip of
Manhattan. From the deck, the
skyline of Manhattan was strik-
ing, with the World Trade Cen-
ter towers piercing the sky like
giant silver rectangles.
The boat glided on, and soon
there was another memorable
sight — the Statue of Liberty in
the distance.
As we approached, cameras
were poised. Some passengers
stood on deck and simply gazed
reverently at the 151-foot-high
statue. Rising from the water,
Lady Liberty looked majestic in-
deed.
In fact, many of the sights we
saw during_ a three-hour cruise
around Manhattan were mem-
orable when viewed from the
water.
The tour was first on my
agenda during a recent weekend
recreation area: Battery Park on
the tip of Lower Manhattan.
Along the waterfront prome-
nade, tourists were looking
through the telscopes positioned
all along the water. Vendors
were busy selling water ice and
"I Love New York" T-shirts. And
the lines were long for the pop-
ular Statue of Liberty and Ellis
Island ferry.
Near the middle of the park
was a striking sculpture that
honors those who came by boat
the hard way to Ellis Island. The
stone sculpture depicts a group
of immigrants, looking exhaust-
ed as they clutch their luggage.
They are clearly Jewish immi-
grants because one male figure
wears a yarmulke.
Right across the street from
Battery Park, at the corner of
State Street and Whitehall,
I stopped to look at a flagpole
commemorating the arrival
of 23 Sephardic Jews who came
