ferry boat

noun, ferry

“I was skipper on the ferry boat for 30-some years, and our biggest concern were girls that were pregnant and coming up for delivery.”

“There used to be two ferry boats. They were fast. One was called The Kingston and one was called The Toronto, and they would ply from Montreal.”

“The thing of a job like the ferry boat is it’s what you make it.”

“We would set our clock by them because they’d go by at a certain time, and it was the same time almost every time they went by. That was a time when people travelled by ferry boat more so than the train, I guess, or enough to make it financially viable.”

“So, The Upper Canada, that was just another ferry, or did it do other things too?”
“No. It was just a ferry boat. And it held fifteen cars.”
