“Emerging from the mist over the North River, like Caesar approaching Rome, a legion of city dignitaries aboard the tugboat Cynthia Moran pulled into the south side of the old Pier 38 at the foot of King St. yesterday… Debarking were more than 100 businessmen, labor leaders and city officials [for a] gala, old style ceremony marking the first concrete pour in the construction of New Pier 40.”
