Excerpt from U. S. Navy Ports of the World: New York

To compare the glory that was Rome's to the glory that is New York's is to compare the cockleshell ship, in which Henry Hudson sailed up the river, to the mighty ocean liners, which now go bellowing down the bay on their voyages to distant lands. Ancient writers who boasted of the wealth and splendor of their ancient cities would find, were they living, inexhaustible stores of material for more pretentious boasts in the achievements and growth of modern New York, almost a nation in itself, in wealth, in power, and in inuence.
