Coffee. It’s there when we first wake up in the morning, lending a hand when we want to do nothing more than close our eyes. Just for another fifteen minutes, of course. It’s there when the weight of the midday reaches your shoulders, slowing you down. It’s there after a long day when all you want to do is sit down, enjoy the scent of summer on the not-quite-cool breeze, and relax.
Can you feel it? Birds are in the sky, whistling their familiar music. There’s a breeze passing through, lighter than the last few, and carrying with it the scent of freshly blooming flowers. Children are playing somewhere nearby, their voices interspersed with the sound of a ball bouncing on the concrete. A single strand of sunlight is shining through the curtain to rest on your arm. It’s warm and reassuring, instilling the comfort of a friend thought lost. Winter has faded like a bad memory. Summer is back. And we couldn’t be happier to see it.
Our Ferries are the heart of Block Island, bringing people to every part of the island and filling it with life. They work tirelessly, day and night, carrying generations of young and old alike in the tradition of their now-retired ancestors, such as the Quonset and the Yankee. They do this for us and there’s still much you may not know about their histories. Each of our Ferries has a story to be told, and fun and interesting facts surrounding their creation and the journey they took to get here.
