The Lt. Samuel S. Coursen ferry has operated since 1956, facilitating transport to Governors Island for military families and modern visitors. As it transitions to retirement, the new ferry, Harbor Charger, is set to debut with advanced hybrid-electric technology and ample amenities, supporting low-emissions travel. Designed to accommodate twelve hundred passengers and thirty vehicles, the Harbor Charger reflects modern transportation needs while honoring the legacy of the Coursen. Expected to begin service soon, round trips will be priced at five dollars for adults and free for children.
The Coursen has reliably transported equipment, vehicles, and passengers to and from Governors Island since 1956, carrying military families, lumber, and munitions.
The new ferry, named Harbor Charger, has enough air-conditioned seating to accommodate twelve hundred passengers and thirty vehicles, offering low-emissions travel.
