Have you ever ridden on a ferry?

I've ridden on the Staten Island Ferry and a sightseeing ferry in Honduras.

Halifax NS to Dartmouth NS

Digby NS cross the Bay of Fundy to St John NB

Horseshoe Bay BC to Naniamo BC

Tiwassain BC to Victoria BC

Melmo Sweden Copenhagen Denmark

Tormentine NB to Prince Edward Island.

Vancouver cross the harbor to North Vancouver (it is called the Seabus, part of Vancouver transit system.) This post was edited by Kittigate at February 23, 2022 8:55 AM MST

Yes. Fun, isn't it?

Lots of times and they weren't your average type of ferry they were BC  Super-C class the largest double-ended    ferries in the world. It is also a breath taking 2 hour trip across the chuck (Straight of Georgia). I added a link to a bit of info about the Super-C class  ferries. Cheers and happy weekend!

The Staten Island Ferry hundreds of times, also the ferries between Port Jefferson, NY and Bridgeport, CT, Hyannis, MA to Nantucket, MA, Nantucket to Martha's Vineyard, and Martha's Vineyard to Woods Hole, MA.

Many, many times.

Yes.  :)

Yes, but never in the US.

 

  Yes, but never in the US, only in Hong Kong and in The Philippines.

The Cross sound ferry, New London Connecticut to Long Island New York . This post was edited by Echooos at February 23, 2022 8:55 AM MST

Yes, the Cook Cruises Zoo Express Ferry from Circular Quay in Sydney (Australia) to the Taronga Zoo

Yes, as a child. I do not remember where we were or were going. 

 

 Yes, and it was quite innocent and easily explainable as to why it wasn’t really what it looked like, but my wife still wasn’t having it. Grrrrrrr.



  Oh, wait. You didn’t say “fairy”, you said “ferry”. Oops, sorry about that. 

  Never mind, disregard, look the other way.

Various, from a pedestrian ferry by rowing boat across the local harbour (about 100 yards, at most), upwards.

All the "upwards" carried vehicles as well as pedestrian.

Including the chain-ferry across Poole Harbour entrance (Southern England). Poole Harbour is the worlds' second largest natural harbour, although only part of it is useable by anything bigger than a shallow-draught rowing-boat, and much of its fringes are remote mud-flats and marshes. So the road alternative to the 100 yards or so of ferry-crossing can involve well over 20 miles of driving - as many car-driving or bus-using, local, regular ferry passengers found when a breakdown put it out of action for some months last year.

Across the English Channel to France several times (various routes, once by hovercraft but those stopped back in the 1980s or 1990s). Over to Ireland twice.

Isle of Skye to the Scottish mainland - the Kyle of Lochalsh bridge takes most of the traffic but the ferry offers a considerable short-cut if you are driving back Southwards, as we were.

The largest I've used were the car-ferries across the North Sea between England and Norway, but they ceased some years ago, and there are now no public ferry services between the UK and Scandinavia. The distance from Newcastle to Bergen is about 400 nautical miles, and the crossing each way (the return voyage included Stavanger) took nearly 24 hours.

Yes. I've been on the ferry that connects Brazil Route 319 across the Amazon River. My uncle is a truck driver. I was on that ferry when I took a vacation to ride along with him.  I've also been on the ferry that connects Chile Route 257 across the Strait of Magellan several times. In order to drive to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina from the rest of country, one must drive through part of Chile and take the ferry across the Strait of Magellan.
