Aquarium in Battery Park and New York Harbor
Additional Details:
| The Aquarium, on the Battery sea-wall, contains 122 glass tanks, which are filled with the finest collection of living fishes ever displayed. Originally this building was called Fort Clinton, afterwards as Castle Garden, a noted amusement resort. For a great many years it was the immigration depot. When the immigration depot was moved to Ellis Island the old Fort was converted into an aquarium. It is visited annually by 2,000,000 people. |
