A ferry (or ferryboat) is a boat or ship (a merchant vessel) used to carry (or ferry) primarily passengers, and sometimes vehicles and cargo as well, across a body of water. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, Italy, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi.
Ferries form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels. However, ship connections of much larger distances (such as over long distances in water bodies like the Mediterranean Sea) may also be called ferry services, especially if they carry vehicles.
The profession of the ferryman is embodied in Greek mythology in Charon, the boatman who transported souls across the River Styx to the Underworld.
Speculation that a pair of oxen propelled a ship having a water wheel can be found in 4th century Roman literature "Anonymus De Rebus Bellicis". Though impractical, there is no reason why it could not work and such a ferry, modified by using horses, was used in Lake Champlain in 19th-century America. See "When Horses Walked on Water: Horse-Powered Ferries in Nineteenth-Century America" (Smithsonian Institution Press; Kevin Crisman, co-authored with Arthur Cohn, Executive Director of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum). See Experiment (horse powered boat).
A boat is a watercraft of any size designed to float or plane, to work or travel on water. Small boats are typically found on inland (lakes) or in protected coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore environment. In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water. Some definitions do not make a distinction in size, as bulk freighters 1,000 feet (300 m) long on the Great Lakes are called oreboats. For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats' rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape.
Boats have a wide variety of shapes, sizes and construction methods due to their intended purpose, available materials or local traditions. Canoe type boats have a long history and various versions are used throughout the world for transportation, fishing or sport. Fishing boats vary widely in style partly to match local conditions. Pleasure boats include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats. House boats may be used for vacationing or long-term housing. Small boats can provide transport or convey cargo (lightering) to and from large ships. Lifeboats have rescue and safety functions. Boats can be powered by human power (e.g., rowboats), wind power (e.g., sailboats) and motor power (e.g., propellor-driven motorboats driven by gasoline or diesel engines).

Moving Machines For Kids presents a Ferry Boat! Ferry boats transport people and vehicles across bodies of water like large lakes or parts of the ocean. Ferry boats can carry lots of people and their trucks and cars. Even semi trucks with trailers can fit. Children and kids will enjoy this moving machines video. Watch as the big ship ferry boat travels across the water.
On this episode of the Axel Show, Axel and his Daddy are back at the beach with their construction trucks! They use their toy bulldozer truck to dig out a surprise from the sand. It is a Green Toys ferry boat! They use their other toy construction trucks to dig out a lake for the boat to float in, and a channel for it to sail out to the ocean! Digging with trucks is so much fun! We love making construction truck videos for children, and bulldozer videos for children! We know kids love to watch construction trucks working.

This is a video I took when I was on vacation on the Cape May Lewes Ferry Boat from New Jersey to Delaware on May 15, 2012 at 2:30 PM. Sea's were rocking and so were we walking on this ship that day. The ship carries many cars across the Delaware Bay. It not that expensive and is a beautiful cruise. You can find out more information on this ferry by going to Capemayferry.com

During a crossing, this ferry boat gets into a storm and hits some pretty heavy waves!

Deep in this darkened tomb
The demons begin their wake
And army of the dead
Summoned back to life
Your soul they will not take
Your fate has been sealed
With blood
It cannot be undone
Now that the deal is done
And all hope is gone
The powers sworn to you
Mean nothing in this hell
No chance to be reborn
Your fate has been sealed
With blood
It cannot be undone
It’s time to rise
The day has come
All that’s left to you is
Eternal damnation
Your fate has been sealed
With blood
It cannot be undone
It’s time to rise
The day has come
All that’s left to you is
Eternal damnation
It’s time to rise
The day has come
All that’s left to you is
