Ich habe dies gemacht, um meine Neugier zu befriedigen, nachdem ein Freund darüber nachgedacht hatte, welche Fähren noch fahren. Ich habe gepostet ein BlueSky-Thread wie ich es gemacht habe, falls Sie einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen möchten. Wie viele ÖPNV-Karten handelt es sich um ein stark verzerrtes Kartogramm. Es hat mir auch Spaß gemacht, alles in einer Zweifarbenpalette unterzubringen.

Ah the Centre Island ferry.
Cool map! Definitely not to scale.
What the hell ended up happening to the high speed ferry project between St Catharines and Toronto? Our waterways are so underutilized.
I love this. Thanks for posting it.
Now this is map porn!
Actual map porn on r/mapporn ? What the shit?
Your legends are off, sorry to say
Just checked a couple, Toronto Islands and Pelee Island. Both have different line types on the written legends than on the actual map
Eg, Harbour Square – Ward’s Island in the legend is large dashes, but on the map it’s alternating small-large
Went to Isle Royale in 2013 and took the ferry from Copper Harbor. It was surreal. For 3 hours we sailed in the thickest fog I’ve ever personally experienced. No sense of movement whatsoever. The ship almost couldn’t dock in Rock Harbor, and was going turn around, but the fog starting thinning out just in time to dock.
I’m sure it’s not super feasible, but would love more ferries in Lake Michigan. If I could take a ferry from Chicago back home to Michigan, it would be pretty cool.
Also, not sure if you’d want to include the water taxi in Chicago? At least part of it runs down the Lake Michigan shore.
This is awesome, well done!
Idk how anal you want to be. The North Manitou Island ferry isn’t running. Service is limited to 2 landing craft smaller boats until this spring at the earliest.
I’m from Kingston and for a minute I was like „wait wtf it Marysville“ before my brain rebooted. We all just call it Wolfe Island.
I don’t know how thorough you were planning to be, but that region also has the Amherst Island ferry and the Glenora ferry (to Prince Edward County) if you’re interested.
Nice map. You are missing the Glenora to Adolphustown ferry though. And if you do not have a size cut off there is also the Port Robinson Ferry.
Why wouldn’t a ferry from like Kenosha, WI to Michigan City or Chesterton, IN be profitable? It would completely bypass Chicago’s traffic nightmare for traffic going either east of west.
huh, looks like we can’t cross our lake on a ferry, I was actually wondering that.
Of course, my side of Lake Erie is Canada and across the lake is the US. I know back in the day there were bootleggers and rum runners crossing back and forth lol.
Cc: r/rochester
Nice!
Missing: Amherst Island Ferry just west of Kingston.
Missing: Glenora Ferry to Prince Edward County near Picton.
Horne Ferry to Cape Vincent NY is no longer operating — since the pandemic, or thereabouts
Great job! It’s missing Grand Island which leaves from Munising. I used to love going there to hike and camp.
