Ferries and Steamers: From Nantucket to Now, 1974-2024
Ferries and Steamers Lecture Series: From Nantucket to Now, 1974-2024
Traveling to or from the mainland by boat has been part of life on Martha’s Vineyard for centuries. It is one of the Island experiences that first-time tourists, frequent visitors and long-time residents all share. This four-part lecture series by MVM Research Librarian Bow Van Riper traces the story of Vineyard ferries from the early 1700s to the present day: from sail to steam to diesel, by way of storms, shipwrecks, and strikes. Join us for a deep dive into the history behind the Ferry Tales exhibit.
MVM Members: $15; Non-Members: $20.
