There is a one hour harbor cruise of downtown Manhattan leaving from South Street Seaport, Pier 16. They also provide a half hour speed boat thrill ride during the summer called the Shark (The Beast's Sister Ship).

Circle Line Downtown and Circle Line at 42nd are two entirely different company's with only an ancestral correspondence. Circle Line split into two separate companies--Circle Line Sightseeing and what would later become Circle Line Harbor Cruises, LLC--after 1982. Following this break they developed into two autonomous companies CircleLineDowntown (talk) 21:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

US 1549 edit

Firstly, do we need the bit about US 1549 at all? I wondered whether each example of a vessel which helped has been similarly documented? Are we saying that CLSC's role here was notable? Because if it was, then great, but let's document it properly.

Secondly, if we do need the ditching story - and I acknowledge that yes, maybe we do! - do we really need two bits of media about it? There is a blurry and jerky video and a better-quality photo. In neither of them, from neither the media nor their captioning, is it currently possible to identify which vessel we should be looking at - it's just a load of boats and an aircraft. We know that the scene is heroic, miraculous and amazing but we do not know where we fit into it reading this article. My suggestion would be to lose one of them - preferably the video - and keep the other but point out how it is connected to this line. The CLSC boat is third to the left of the aircraft's tail or whatever. Without this kind of link, it just feels a bit dumped here. But what do you think?
