Forks Ferries

Here are tugster-takes on car-carrying ferries off North Carolina, on Champlain, and in the tropics.

And this is likely a Forks ferry entering the Upper Bay in the fog a few years back, almost invisible.  Long Island has a plethora of ferry companies.

It seems from Shelter Island north you take a ferry of one company, like Menantic here or Manhasset or another, which I conclude is built way south, and

from Shelter Island south you take a ferry like Sunrise built farther north.    I need to get back to the Forks of Long Island to find out more.

Since Islander seems a fairly generic name for ferries, I’ve yet to find any specifics of this one, on the hard in Greenport.

By the way, I itching to gallivant soon . . . inland to Nola, then up the Mississippi to Vicksburg to  . . . St Louis and then zigzag back to the east coast, provided that storms stay elsewhere.
