Mary Ellen

Any guesses?  It’s a view I’d never seen until a last-minute arrival on the ferry set me up to be the very last car to debark.  The afternoon light wafting into the cargo space was a treat.

Here she is in profile departing New London.

built 1983, major renovation in 2003

 

In the right light, she’s a beauty.  Notice the low profile of the North Fork of Long Island along the horizon to the right below.

Just to the left of the stack, that’s Cape Henlopen, ex-LST 510.

 

Finally, another shot of the empty cargo deck.
