A collection of random images tell a story about Island living and our dependance on, and our gratitude for everything the Fishers Island Ferry District crew does to make living here a possibility. We sometimes take this for granted, but without the ferries the Island would not be thriving and our community would not be here.
Safe passage for all the people, and delivery back and forth of all the ‘stuff’, that is the main purpose – and here are some highlights, and reminders of the variety and immense quantities of ‘stuff’ that comes, and goes, on the ferry.
Thank you to all the photo contributors past, present and future!
Charlie Morgan, Jesse Marshall, Erick Gomes, Gordon Murphy, John Morgan, Rachel Burnham, Ellen Campbell, Jennifer Russell, Pierce Rafferty, Jane Ahrens and more.

- 9FEB13 This little raccoon was hiding under the life boats on the top deck this beautiful morning – and did a round trip on the 7:00/8:15 – before getting picked up by Animal Control. He’ll be dropped off in a wooded area in New London later today. Photo Credit: Kristopher Dorcett
- Spring 2013 Baby Chicks – “Where are we going again?” We really do ship everything to the island! 10 baby chicks on the noon boat. They came via USPS.
- 17MAY17 Gardening plants and flowers – “That particular freight wagon was around when I started on the ferry in 1994. And it looked about 50 years old back then!” Jesse Marshall
- c.late ’70’s Santa and his sleigh – “Yes, that is Aaron Rice… my Uncle Tommy “Tunes” posted it on FB. If I had to guess maybe late 70’s…. photo was taken by Charlie Morgan.” c/o Debra Silva
