A little departure today. It’s at a ferry dock, but I wanted to use this photo today for the obvious reasons.

I took this photo just before my class got on the ferry in Jersey City. After taking the ferry across the river and went up the World Trade Center. I was always interested in the WTC towers from when I was a kid, and am glad I was able to visit them at least once.

Of course, my own little experience pales in gravity to the events of ten years ago today. RIP to all the victims of that terrible tragedy.

The M.S. Chi-Cheemaun Ferry, which runs from Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula to South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island. The ferry ride takes less than two hours and cuts hundreds of kilometres off the trip around Georgian Bay.

On board the Glenora ferry. This ferry traverses the Bay of Quinte, connecting highway 33 in Prince Edward County to its leg south of Napanee.

MTO operates this ferry year round, with no toll required to use it.
