Abstract:
Jones recounts the history of the Sans Souci ferry, a small two-car cable ferry that carries traffic across Cashie River in Bertie County. In 1722, a man named Tomlinson applied for and received permission to build a ferry. Since then a ferry has operated at that crossing. Artist Francis Speight's famous painting of the idyllic ferry crossing brought the scene to wider audience beyond the state.
