South View

Facing south from Pier 76, lower Manhattan’s skyline rises beside New York Harbor landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center. New York’s success grew from this harbor, first valued by the Lenape people for its rich fisheries and oyster beds and later for trade with Dutch merchants. The view also includes landmarks that reflect New York’s role as the country’s leading industrial port in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, while Hudson Yards, east of Pier 76, shows how an area used over the past four centuries for rural farms, shipping docks, rail yards, factories, and warehouses became a mixed-use development with tall towers and cultural amenities including the Vessel, the Shed, and part of the High Line.
