Back in the days when we lived on Governors Island, we could see the famous "Hoboken Ferry" make its daily crossings of the Hudson River between New Jersey and lower Manhattan. This was as I recall run by one of the railroads, and stopped running in 1967. The Coast Guard bought one of the boats and used it briefly on the Governors Island run.
After 22 years, ferry service between Hoboken and NYC resumed, and for one day only on July 26th, a boat will make a day trip from Ho-Ho to GI:
