| I had a word with the guy who has the historicalbatonrouge site. He said he didn't have a picture of the ferry on his site because they are all copyrighted. So I gave him a free licence to mine. Now following the link will display his copy of the above photo. |

This photo has intrigued me over the years, as did the ferry itself when I first saw it. It looked so old I was half expecting to see Noah on the bridge. So I did a bit of digging around and it seems it might have a quiet place in history, as it appears to be an original.
