Though boats and sail ferries called at these locations since the 18th century, the inauguration of

BMT Fulton Street Line and BMT Lexington Avenue Line (or "Old Main Line") elevated railways
both ended at the Brooklyn side of the ferry, but were later moved with the majority of trips using the Brooklyn Bridge.
