1
00:00:25,92 --> 00:00:29,48
And I'm predicting a both today with
their probably down to New York.

2
00:00:30,50 --> 00:00:37,31
But it is almost time
to start it is time to

3
00:00:37,31 --> 00:00:40,61
start at last to the pier

4
00:00:45,98 --> 00:00:48,17
our boat big wheel journal

5
00:00:48,17 --> 00:00:55,00
or as we back away from
the pier we back slowly

6
00:00:55,00 --> 00:00:56,29
out into the river

7
00:00:57,07 --> 00:01:02,44
and our boat ride has started down
the mighty Hudson and then sea

8
00:01:02,44 --> 00:01:08,05
and Roger with the many ways by which people
use the river this large ship does not

9
00:01:08,05 --> 00:01:11,09
carry passengers. It is
being loaded with lumber

10
00:01:11,09 --> 00:01:18,05
and other heavy freight
across the river we

11
00:01:18,06 --> 00:01:19,91
see a great hole in the ground.

12
00:01:21,60 --> 00:01:28,51
It is a rock quarry where people
dig out stones because the quarry

13
00:01:28,51 --> 00:01:35,09
is near the Hudson River the stones are
usually put on barges lead which carries

14
00:01:35,09 --> 00:01:36,06
them down this dream.

15
00:01:38,46 --> 00:01:44,31
The boys are my son by a long road to a wrong
little tugboat which blows them along.

16
00:01:46,33 --> 00:01:47,26
Nancy and Roger

17
00:01:47,26 --> 00:01:52,20
and all the other passengers are enjoying
the smooth glide of the boat through the

18
00:01:52,20 --> 00:01:56,38
water this lighthouse is one way
in which a boat trip is made safe.

19
00:01:56,48 --> 00:01:59,95
It marks a shallow spot so boats
going to steer away from the.

20
00:02:05,15 --> 00:02:05,93
And here's another way

21
00:02:06,68 --> 00:02:11,15
that boat trips are made safe our boat
is carrying many small boats on it.

22
00:02:11,21 --> 00:02:17,79
The whole row of life boats on each sign
the life boats are brought in solid they

23
00:02:17,79 --> 00:02:21,77
have owners for ruing and they are
tied tanks to keep them from sinking.

24
00:02:22,43 --> 00:02:24,12
Each of them or hold twenty people.

25
00:02:27,00 --> 00:02:31,21
Here's another boat another boat
just like the one on which Roger

26
00:02:31,21 --> 00:02:35,30
and Nancy are writing it
to has many people on it

27
00:02:35,30 --> 00:02:42,00
but they are going up the river
for their boat trip this boat

28
00:02:42,00 --> 00:02:43,15
is the him brick

29
00:02:43,15 --> 00:02:54,54
and named after the man who
discovered the river inside

30
00:02:54,55 --> 00:02:58,43
this pilot house is the
captain of our boat.

31
00:03:06,88 --> 00:03:09,15
Says the captain. Let's go. He Right.

32
00:03:09,15 --> 00:03:09,48
He's going

33
00:03:27,76 --> 00:03:30,65
well. Well you know I'm right

34
00:03:30,65 --> 00:03:35,11
and that's just getting really yesterday

35
00:03:35,11 --> 00:03:38,74
when I done it this way makes
the boat go to the right.

36
00:03:40,24 --> 00:03:42,71
And this way down to the book to the left

37
00:03:44,58 --> 00:03:49,35
but that's because they go
to the engineer. Yeah yeah.

38
00:03:50,22 --> 00:03:54,13
Where is he down below in the engine room.

39
00:03:57,37 --> 00:03:59,86
Thanks Captain Good bye bye.

40
00:04:07,69 --> 00:04:10,87
Our boat has just passed under a bridge.

41
00:04:10,89 --> 00:04:16,53
A high bridge built the carrier railroad
trains across above the river from one

42
00:04:16,53 --> 00:04:20,11
shore to the other.

43
00:04:20,94 --> 00:04:27,57
And now we are coming close to a
town our captain has signaled

44
00:04:27,57 --> 00:04:32,80
everyone that we are policy here
is a variable loaded with people

45
00:04:32,80 --> 00:04:34,95
and cars waiting for us to plant.

46
00:04:34,97 --> 00:04:39,37
So they can go across the river to the
other side there is no bridge here for

47
00:04:39,37 --> 00:04:43,23
automobiles. There are many
kinds of boats on the river.

48
00:04:43,61 --> 00:04:47,71
Here for example is a kayak a little boat

49
00:04:47,71 --> 00:04:56,56
that has the big paddle this

50
00:04:56,57 --> 00:05:00,46
man is having an easier time
he has rigged up a seal

51
00:05:01,30 --> 00:05:01,75
or his canoe

52
00:05:07,96 --> 00:05:09,92
and these people have a larger sail boat.

53
00:05:10,46 --> 00:05:14,97
When the wind is blowing they can take it
easy and let the breeze blow them alone.

54
00:05:17,11 --> 00:05:20,12
Roger and Nancy are wondering
what makes our boat go.

55
00:05:21,02 --> 00:05:24,79
They remember the captain told them
that our engineer was down below.

56
00:05:25,79 --> 00:05:27,43
And here they are above the engine room.

57
00:05:28,61 --> 00:05:33,06
What a big piece of machinery
being make the boat.

58
00:05:33,08 --> 00:05:46,12
And how powerful the.

59
00:05:46,92 --> 00:05:52,35
Engineer can stop. Or go ahead
by pulling back on these levers.

60
00:06:00,90 --> 00:06:04,57
Roger and Nancy again come up on deck so

61
00:06:04,58 --> 00:06:11,30
that they won't miss anything just
in time our boat is passing the

62
00:06:11,30 --> 00:06:15,90
Palisades famous rocky cliffs along
the Hudson near New York City.

63
00:06:19,10 --> 00:06:23,48
This is another free school carrying
about the same kind of heavy goods

64
00:06:23,48 --> 00:06:26,12
that freight trains carry on land

65
00:06:30,69 --> 00:06:36,71
and this is a motor yacht right then briskly
finished people on if they are going

66
00:06:36,71 --> 00:06:38,89
for a blazer ride up the river

67
00:06:43,79 --> 00:06:50,75
cabin cruiser these people seem to

68
00:06:50,75 --> 00:06:56,92
be in a hurry. These small
boats another large boat.

69
00:06:57,05 --> 00:07:01,11
Roger and Nancy now see the broad
span of the George Washington Bridge.

70
00:07:02,27 --> 00:07:03,68
We are passing far beneath it.

71
00:07:03,78 --> 00:07:08,80
So we cannot see the many cars and buses
hurrying to and fro across the bridge

72
00:07:10,74 --> 00:07:15,38
and here below the Washington
Bridge is a fireboat practicing

73
00:07:19,71 --> 00:07:26,56
we see how far it can grow its remove
one a viable business very useful for

74
00:07:26,56 --> 00:07:31,39
fighting fire on ships in the harbor or
fires on the piers at the water's edge.

75
00:07:33,88 --> 00:07:39,47
The Hudson River has many boats here this
barge is quite low in the water that's

76
00:07:39,48 --> 00:07:41,04
because it is built with gasoline.

77
00:07:41,41 --> 00:07:45,27
It has no engine but at juggling
little tug is pushing it.

78
00:07:49,07 --> 00:07:55,41
Roger and Nancy must have seen
something unusual it is unusual.

79
00:07:55,84 --> 00:07:59,80
Nowadays when most boats are
run by engines. This is a sea.

80
00:08:01,19 --> 00:08:04,73
But its sales are all put
away and its master bear.

81
00:08:05,15 --> 00:08:10,85
While it is anchored in the river here is
a ferry boat much like the one we saw far

82
00:08:10,85 --> 00:08:14,16
back up the river. This one
too is loaded with cars

83
00:08:14,16 --> 00:08:21,13
and people coming from New Jersey
to New York says a police patrol

84
00:08:21,13 --> 00:08:21,70
boat

85
00:08:29,09 --> 00:08:30,99
an ocean liner has just come in

86
00:08:31,98 --> 00:08:38,83
and the tug is helping
it to its pier over here

87
00:08:38,83 --> 00:08:42,00
is a big break boat already
tied up at its beer.

88
00:08:43,62 --> 00:08:45,97
It is not a long ocean soup from Cuba

89
00:08:46,97 --> 00:08:49,55
and the men are unloading
Bang's of sugar from the

90
00:08:58,15 --> 00:09:01,62
huge ocean liner is backing
out into the stream.

91
00:09:05,12 --> 00:09:11,86
One of the largest ships afloat most big
ocean liners have gone little tugs likely

92
00:09:12,73 --> 00:09:16,48
to help turn them about in the river
when starting out on a voyage or

93
00:09:16,49 --> 00:09:29,57
when coming in our

94
00:09:29,58 --> 00:09:34,63
journey from Albany to New York is over the
people on this big liner their journey

95
00:09:34,63 --> 00:09:37,87
across the broad Atlantic
Ocean has just begun.
