We love sharing all things Block Island and ferries with you, but we certainly haven’t cornered the market on being Block Island ambassadors! There are plenty of others out there who love the Island (almost) as much as we do, and share their favorite Block Island beaches, restaurants, and pastimes on their own blogs and vlogs.

About 77 years ago, towards the end of the war in Europe, the last of the Nazi U-boats patrolling Atlantic waters were either sunk or forced to surrender.
