Article in Nypost about this. 800 mariners rescued 500k people. (Dunkirk 300k) Largest evacuation ever. Manhattan is an island. US Coast Guard put out a call for help.

Boatlift was truly amazing with its massive volunteer help, as were so many on nine-eleven.

a half million people were evacuated from Lower Manhattan by a civilian flotilla of ferries, tug boats and other vessels in what became the largest boatlift in history. All without any government direction, subsidy, requirement, law or regulation.

When the Prin came on the PA and asked staff members who had relatives at WTC I stuvk my head in the hall and asked two teachers on their prep petiod what was going on. The said “ two trains hit the Trade Center!” I said in reply “ How! There’s 50 miles of visibility out there!” Then I got it, but the memory of the sky that morning sticks, as I saw the skyline silhouetted in Azure as I drove to school that morning.

I was on one of those boats crossing the river that day.

As soon as the United plane landed on the Hudson, some of these very same boats immediately dropped everything and left dock to intercept and save the survivors.
Alan Warren, director of ferry operations for NY Waterway, said at least 14 of his company's boats bravely responded. "We don't think - we do," said Warren, explaining that his crews routinely train for all types of river emergencies.
Thanks God for people who "do."
