January 2026 – The Islander
The beloved work horse of a ferry, the Islander plied the waters between Woods Hole and Martha’s Vineyard for almost 60 years before retiring in the winter of 2007. There was just something about this tub of a boat that endeared her to all who sailed on her… she wasn’t a great beauty but she had a regalness about her. The Vineyard is many things to many people and in many hearts the Islander was the emotional connection.
