The 'North River', the southern most part of the river lies between Manhattan and Jersey City. As New York grew, the piers along the Hudson on Manhattan Island became the location for the berths for ocean going ships. Chelsea Piers (23rd Street) became the main locations from 1910 to 1930s for passenger liners. With the decline of trans Atlantic passenger liners the piers closed down leaving their remnants along the Hudson.
