U.S. Wants Detroit-Windsor Ferry Service

[DetroitPlanner]

The Staten Island ferry was originally a car ferry, but since 9-11, cars have not been allowed. In fact, three new ferries delivered for service after 9-11 were designed for cars and have car bays, but cars have never been allowed on them.

An aside, I actually saw those ferries coming down the Detroit River on their way to be delivered! I had to do a double take. "What the heck.... that looks like the Staten Island Ferry! It is, it is, the Staten Island Ferry!"

Very interesting DetroitPlanner! That would have been a cool sight to see. Thanks for sharing the story. I do remember that the three new ferries were built in Wisconsin, so it makes sense that they would come through Detroit.
