NORWEGIAN DAWN
IN NEW YORK AND
ELSEWHERE
Norwegian Dawn was built with New York in mind.
Indeed, there is a mural of the Statue of Liberty on
her side. For several years after she entered
service, Dawn sailed yearround from New York.
However, more recently, she has only been based
in New York during the warmer months.
Dwan's home in New York is the Passenger Ship
Terminal on the Westside of Manhattan.
This essay consists of photos taken of
NORWEGIAN DAWN taken over the
years in New York, at sea and at various
destinations.
The Passenger Ship Terminal is on the eastern bank
of the Hudson River (sometimes called the North
River at this point) and the piers are at a right
angle to the flow of the river. Consequently, ships
leaving the terminal have to back out across the
current. Once they are in mid-river, the halt in
order to turn.
Of course, Dawn does
not just sail around
Manhattan.
