Abstract:
Rudy Austin and his family are Ocracoke Island natives who have made it possible for people to visit Portsmouth Island via boat for 40 years. Austin’s father once worked on the now uninhabited island and started taking visitors to the island when the National Park Service took over its management in the 1970s. The Austin’s are the only ferry service and as they age, many wonder what will happen to Portsmouth Island.

The Elway Ferry was the smallest one in NC in its car capacity: two, to be exact. How it loomed large enough to be in operation, with JC McDuffie as its current captain, after almost seven decades? For one, its years of operation—longer than any regularly scheduled ferry in the state. As for its importance locally, residents rely much on the only ferry twenty miles between Kelly and Elizabethtown.
