Explanation

Hoboken did operate the first steam ferry service in the U.S., beginning in 1811 (the question cuts off '1811'). The ferry ran between Hoboken and Manhattan, operated by Colonel John Stevens. This was a significant transportation innovation before bridges and tunnels connected New Jersey to New York City. The other locations are New Jersey cities but not the site of this first ferry.
