After sitting silent for more than three years, a City attraction that was shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty has reopened with additional safety precautions in place.

The Vessel has officially reopened in New York after multiple suicides forced its closure for several years.

Related Companies, which owns Hudson Yards, closed the structure briefly after the third suicide in 2021 – then reopened it a short time later with a new $10 admission fee, suicide prevention signs and a rule that banned solo visitors. However, it was still lacking the kinds of barriers that city and local community board officials requested.
