Island Ferry
In 1926 the City of Toronto purchased the ferry services operated by the Toronto Ferry Company. The fleet was transferred to the TTC, which engaged in a modernization program, retiring the smaller older vessels, and purchasing modern, diesel-powered ferries which still provide the backbone of today's service to the Islands.

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or ferry:
“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do.
If youve a penny in your purse
Ill ferry you.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (18301894)
