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 detail, including directions to landings, schedule
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.
