More DescriptionThis is the delightful, fact-filled history of one of the shortest, oldest, and most unusual ferries in the country—the Chappa-quiddick ferry on Martha’s Vineyard. It includes stories about the blind man who skippered it for nearly forty years, the seaplane that struck it in 1937, and the roles it played in the filming of the movie Jaws.
The book includes a centerfold illustration showing how the ferry works and The Chappy Ferry Movie hosted by Dick Ebersol, former chairman of NBC Sports, and produced by John Wilson, who has had a twenty-year career in sports television and who has loved the ferry all his life.
