We're getting away from the topic of "major."

  How are these not major runs?  Vashon, San Juan, & Orcas Islands are 3 of the top 10 most populated islands in the lower 48 not connected to the mainland via a bridge.  By numbers of autos ferried, I am sure they are some of the most major runs in the lower 48.  Lopez Island may also be in the top 10 in population plus the run extends to Sidney, BC on Vancouver Island.

My Dad took the family to Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan when I was a kid for four Summers.  The ferry (the Emerald Isle) operates between Charlevoix, Michigan and the island village of St. James. :coffee:

The only one I have clinched is the Mobile Bay Ferry on AL-180 and AL-193.

The only auto ferry that I have ever been on (and subsequently clinched) is on E39 in Lavik, Norway.

I clinched the auto ferry going over the Tennessee River over by Big Sandy.  Then there is another one up off of A1A in north Florida.  Come to think of it I also clenched the one over the Ohio River to Illinois from Kentucky.

I have clinched only 2 ferries. Wis 113 at Merrimac over the Wisconsin River and the Washington Island Ferry at the end of Wis 42 in Door County.

Ditto.

The former (the cable-guided WI 113 Wisconsin River ferry at Merrimac, WI) is the only one that I've actually driven, the other was when I was a small child.

Kingsville, Ontario to Sandusky, Ohio (via Pelee Island).

That one reminded me that I've taken a nearby ferry, the Miller Ferry from Catawba Island to South Bass Island, Ohio. I had forgotten the ferry, since most trips of mine to Put-in-Bay were via plane, including the Ford Tri-Motor when I was a child. Flying is more exciting, but doing the ferry once was worthwhile.

Other notable (at least to me) ferries I've clinched:

  • Lewes, DE-Cape May, NJ
  • Jamestown-Newport, RI, before the bridge was built
  • Chester, PA, across the Delaware, before the bridge
  • Seattle-Bainbridge Island, WA
