Pier 63

It was originally located near 23rd Street, adjacent to Chelsea Piers and Hudson River Park.

It had been purchased from a used car salesman in Staten Island by John Krevey in October 1996 and delivered by a tugboat.

The land side of Pier 63 was formerly used as a freight transfer station for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad where freight was moved from the boxcars on the barges to local conveyance.

[1] Two historical boats were primarily located here: the lightvessel Frying Pan and the fireboat John J. Harvey.

John Krevey, who ran Pier 66 Maritime, died on February 4, 2011.
