Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• This Maritime Operation During the 9/11 Attacks Was Bigger Than Dunkirk (townhall.com) — During the 9/11 boatlift, NY Waterway ferries carried thousands from Lower Manhattan to New Jersey, including Weehawken, in what became the largest water evacuation in history. About 150 vessels and 800 mariners moved roughly half a million people in just nine hours, as tugboats, ferries, and even small dinghies answered a single Coast Guard call for all available boats.
• The Call to Service that Fire Island Ferries Answered in the Aftermath of September 11 (fireislandnews.com) — Ferries running from Weehawken to Lower Manhattan played a crucial role in restoring commuter service after 9/11, carrying first responders and office workers into the recovery zone. A Fire Island Ferries operations director recalls the eerie trips through smoke-filled New York Harbor and the quiet resolve of passengers in the months that followed, underscoring the region's resilience and Weehawken's part in it.
