You’d think you’d know by now what this iconic Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises is, it’s been there forever. I used to live on 42nd Str and 12th Ave & it was my regular sighting. But never looked into its history. It’s been here for 115 years. It’s seen Hell’s Kitchen the way we never would, the earlier Hell’s Kitchen, before it became hip & happening
Circumnavigation of Manhattan became possible in 1905 with the construction of the Harlem Ship Canal, the first regularly scheduled trip being the Tourist captained by John Roberts in 1908.

On June 15, 1945, Frank Barry, Joe Moran and other partners merged several companies to form Circle-Line Sightseeing Yachts, offering boat tours of New York operating out of Battery Park.

Since 1953 Circle Line has transported 70 million people to Liberty Island.

Circle Line Sightseeing continues to operate on the Hudson River and is dedicated exclusively to sightseeing.
