The vessel is a two masted coasting schooner, not a fisherman.
Grand Banks Schooner

The ship under sail appears to be a typical design of the fishing schooners of the Grand Banks. (Google Images) Its a shame we can't view the stern well enough to see her name. I can imagine her here sailing into market with a hold full of cod.

Actually, that building isn't the one at 22 Vernon Blvd., it's the warden's home on Blackwell's Island:

The building nearly under the bridge is still there. It's 22 Vernon and appears on Google Street View:
Queens Plaza Clock Tower

The clock tower is part of the Brewster Building in Queens Plaza. The building is still there but, sadly, the clock tower was removed in the 1950's.

Behind the terra cotta works it looks like a building with clock tower under construction. At first I thought Met Life but it doesn't look quite the same.

Anybody know the history of the building that appears to be a mansion, under the bridge?

This is a wonderful photograph. Can anyone read the name on the bow of the passenger boat? I used to live five blocks south of this bridge back in the early 1960's.
