Fulton Ferry was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line. As the name implies, it was built to serve the Fulton Ferry between the two ferry slips in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The station was one of the original BMT Fulton Street Line stations opened by the Kings County Elevated Railway on April 24, 1888,^[1] and had 2 tracks and 2 side platforms.^[2] The next stop to the south was Court Street, although it was originally Clark–Tillary Streets. Despite the fact that the ferry ceased operation on January 19, 1924, partially due to the increased use of the Brooklyn Bridge,^[3] the station continued to operate until it closed on May 31, 1940.
