A ferry carrying hundreds of passengers to the Statue of Liberty made a hard landing at Liberty Island Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
None of the passengers required medical attention, though several did suffer minor injuries, according to the Coast Guard.
The ferry named the Miss New Jersey made the hard landing into a pier off the island at around 4 p.m. The boat did not take on water and all of the nearly 500 passengers were accounted for, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard was responding with a team to investigate.
No word yet on what caused the ferry, which is operated by Statue Cruises, to make the hard landing.
