Abstract:
Starting with one ferry in 1700, the ferry service has expanded since North Carolina's settlement to facilitate travel for various purposes. During the colonial period, ferries made it easier for colonists to go to court, church, taking livestock to market, traveling for muster and for quicker delivery of mail through the postal service.
