Fred
Field ('45) of CA sure gave us an insight as to the history of the
ferry slip located at
the foot of Manteo Avenue
in Hampton. He mentioned that it was relocated to the
Small Boat
Harbor in Newport News.
To refresh
your memory, this is the ferry slip that was used to transport cars and people
to Norfolk before the Hampton Roads
Bridge Tunnel was constructed. I made mention of this location in reference to
the basketball teams of the mid '50s traveling
to Norfolk for games.

What a great image! Thanks for sharing it with us, Joe!

Ferry 'Cross The Mersey
- Gerry Marsden
(Gerry and The Pacemakers)
Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love
People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay
So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
