In Space Journey, this node symbolizes the <strong>\"Perspective of Freedom\"<\/strong>. It's not just a journey; It is a necessary break where the salt wind and the immensity of the port offer you an overview of the metropolis. In the Solarpunk aesthetic, it represents the efficiency of mass public transportation integrated with aesthetic contemplation. It's where the <strong>Statue of Liberty<\/strong> greets you while the glass skyscrapers of <strong>Lower Manhattan<\/strong> seem to emerge directly from the waves.","description_body":"The journey begins at the modern **Whitehall Terminal**, a glass and steel structure that filters the harbor light. As you board one of the iconic orange ships, you will feel the roar of the engines that take you on a 25-minute journey to **St George**. During the crossing, you will pass a few meters from Liberty Island. It's time to head out onto the outside deck to feel the breeze and capture the perfect photo of the receding Manhattan skyline. Upon arriving at Staten Island, the port welcomes you with a different calm, before embarking on the return trip that will return you to the heart of the urban bustle.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5625,"image_3":5627,"image_4":5629,"image_5":5631,"origin_point":"40.70120, -74.01320","curated_waypoints":"40.68920, -74.04450 | 40.66550, -74.06200","destination_point":"40.64370, -74.07350","latitude_start":"40.70120","longitude_start":"-74.01320","golden_spot_lat":"40.68920","golden_spot_lng":"-74.04450","golden_spot_tips":"<strong>Freedom Passage.<\/strong> Stand on the right (starboard) side of the ferry when you leave Manhattan.
