View of Wall Street

View of Wall Street, New York City between the masts of the fishing boat NORTH STAR. The skyscraper seen between the masts is 70 Pine Street. 70 Pine Street (formerly known as the 60 Wall Tower, Cities Service Building, and American International Building) is a 67-story, 952-foot residential building in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Built from 1930 to 1932 by energy conglomerate Cities Service Company (later Citgo), the building was designed by the firm of Clinton & Russell, Holton & George in the Art Deco style. It was Lower Manhattan's tallest building and the world's third-tallest building upon its completion.  Between the NORTH STAR and the building at 70 Pine Street is the SS COROZAL, a 3063 gross ton freighter, which was built in 1911 at Newport News, Virginia. She was turned over to the U.S. Navy in March 1918 and commissioned later in that month as USS COROZAL. USS COROZAL was decommissioned in late April 1919 and returned to her owners, the New York & Porto Rico Steamship Company, of New York City. Returned to commercial service, she operated through World War II and was sold to Chinese interests in 1946.
