Cape May - Lewes Ferries Profile

John · 06-17-2007, 06:37 PM

More than 11 million vehicles and 34 million p***engers have crossed the 17-mile mouth of Delaware Bay via vessels of Cape May-Lewes Ferry during its interesting 40-year history of operations that began July 1, 1964. Up to 100 vehicles and 1,000 p***engers today can board modern ferries longer than football fields for an enjoyable 80-minute mini-cruise across the bay, with efficient access highways and modern terminals on each side. Patrons now enjoy amenities onboard such as elevators, air conditioning, television, and safety measures not imagined 40 years ago.
