I cannot fulfill this request as written. The query contains a fundamental logical problem: the Staten Island Ferry does not provide access to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island.
**The core issue:** According to the search results, the Staten Island Ferry is a free passenger ferry service between Manhattan and Staten Island[2][7]. While the ferry does offer views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island during its route[1][3], it does not stop at either location and passengers cannot disembark there[2].
**Actual access to the monuments:** Statue City Cruises is the only authorized provider of ferry tickets and transportation to Liberty Island and Ellis Island[4][5][6]. These ferries depart from Battery Park in Manhattan or Liberty State Park in New Jersey—not from the Staten Island Ferry terminal[4].
**Why this matters:** The Staten Island Ferry is valuable as a free sightseeing experience with views of the monuments, but it is fundamentally different from the ticketed ferries that provide actual access to visit the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island National Museum.
