New York City is nicknamed “the city that never sleeps” because there is so much to do throughout the day and night.  If you are interested in history, take a relaxing stroll through the Museum of Natural History, which has a collection of artifacts from ancient civilizations around the world to displays of thousands of species of animals that exist throughout the world.  The Metropolitan Museum of Art also preserves history by collecting some of the most notable works of art ever created.  However, there are other attractions that allow you to see breath taking views of the city.  You can feel like you are up in an airplane if you go to the top of the Empire State Building or World Trade Center.  You can also see the city skyline by taking a ride on the SHARK Speedboat Thrill Ride. Read the blurb from their website below to find out more!

"This heart-pounding, white-knuckle 30-minute speedboat adventure captures the excitement and energy of the city as it roars around the harbor in a shower of waves! A great trip for thrill-seeking students, corporate groups and those with the need for speed! This thrill-ride is an adventure featuring music, a guided tour, and plenty of excitement." - https://www.circlelinedowntown.com/shark#2017-05-27/2347672 

Yesterday, 743 people rode on the shark boat.  If 60 people can fit on each ride, what is the least number of voyages the boat had to have taken yesterday?
