From the Wikipedia article
Yankee (also known as Machigonne) is an early-20th-century steel hulled ferry that is the last surviving Ellis Island ferry boat, making it one of the most historically significant ships in the United States. In 2006 it was moored in Hoboken, New Jersey, in mid-2013 it was moved to the Henry Street pier in the Gowanus Bay Terminal in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and as of 2024 is in Staten Island. It is registered as a historic vessel with the National Register of Historic Places, and was owned and inhabited by ceramic artist Victoria MacKenzie-Childs.
