1.   Without you ghost ferries would cross the Mersey manned by skeleton crews.

2.   A ferry crosses every hour.

3.   I baked the collar, which I enjoyed on a sunny Saturday afternoon, sitting on my deck, watching the ferries cross Elliott Bay.

4.   Other ferries cross the harbor carrying commuters to lower Manhattan from Monmouth County, N.J.

5.   Passenger-car ferries cross north-south year-round between Friedrichshafen, Germany, and Romanshorn, Switzerland.

6.   Traffic now relies on ferries to cross the river, discouraging industry from locating on the south side.
