Most North Carolinians are familiar with some of the
state's coastal ferries—perhaps from a trip to the
Outer Banks or to Southport. But did you know that two-car
cable ferries still ply the waters of three North Carolina
Rivers? Or that the state-operated ferry system is the
second largest in the nation?

| THE FERRIES OF NORTH CAROLINA is
the first comprehensive guide to all the state's passenger/vehicle
ferries, covering waterways from the Cape Fear River to
Currituck Sound. Each coastal and river route is described
in full deatil, including directions to landings, schedul
and fare information, a guide to shore facilities and
nearby accommodations and attractions, and interviews,
anecdotes, and observations based on years of firsthand
experience. Maps and photos of each route are included,
as are sections on the operation of ferries, the history
of ferry travel in North Carolina, and helpful hints for
ferry travelers. Whether you're already a fan of the state's
picturesque and practical passenger ferries, or would
like to know more, this book tells you everything you
need to know to plan an enjoyable trip. |
