In 2007 photographer Michael Falco installed a 10 x30 foot glass mural at the  newly reconstructed Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Commissioned by the New  York City Department of Cultural Affairs Falco sought to celebrate the terminal’s  new construction with artwork that reflected the drama of the City’s maritime  history.  

Fabricated at Steindl Glas in Bavaria, under the direction Gabriel Meyer at Franz  Meyer of Munich, Falco’s artwork was applied using a four colour silk-screen  process and sectioned in seven panes of tempered safety glass.  

Installed at the ferry terminal in 2007 the mural entitled, “Where Marsh Meets  the Sea” now graces the ferry terminals’ west entrance.  

“I wanted the artwork to feel like the viewer was exploring a marsh on Staten  Island, peering through the weeds, and discovering the drama of the City’s  maritime history.”
