Beautiful prints of this ferry are available at the Block Island Historical Museum as part of the island's 350th birthday celebration. I sailed fron Newport on the Yankee many times when I was young. It was a libatious Summer party route for sure and part of Block Island's history. Id love to see her again.
As A kid I used to watch the Yankee Pass by on it's way to and from Block Island every day. Although I never got a chance to ride on the "Block Island Boat" as we called it , it holds a special memory for me . It is so nice to see it is still alive and well and someone gets enjoyment from the Ferry. If I am ever in Hoboken I would LOVE to visit her.

Yankee was used in the Larry Fessenden-Glass Eye Pix film, "HABIT", where it was the home for Anna and several other unnamed itinerant vampires.

Very interesting. I've wondered what the inside of that ferry was like for several years.

"Mackenzie childs! They are living my dream!"
Your dream is to live on a decrepit boat that is ready to rust through on a moment's notice?
Sounds like a nightmare to me...
