Probably 20 years when I was living in cape may the twin capes was the best ferry you could get on. The nicest inside and out.

So sad to see a ship die brings a tear to your eye

It is amazing that this video came up on my feed. I just went on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry YESTERDAY!

Does anyone else feel that, after her lengthy service of transporting vehicles, she should have had a few cars on board and strapped into place to keep her feeling useful in her afterlife?

[jackstatter]

I had the amazing opportunity to have been on her round trip (2 times). Both in terrible weather so windy lightning everywhere. But it was felt solid. She was just a joy to be on.

She will be a treasure in the water in the future. Future divers to explore.

Took the Twin Capes many times over the years..while living in southern Delaware and again on vacation. I remember in '77 when they closed down the ferry because of the ice floes coming down the Delaware. For those asking WHY THEY DID THIS and a million other questions, scroll through the comments before asking questions that make you look dumb.

I rode every ferry on this fleet on my lifetime, the 2 converted big ones imcluded. My first ferry ride was on the Cape May. I last rode Twin Capes in 2010.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on

Real quick, the memory I'll share was that my wife (to be) and I used the ferry to visit my parents in Cape May. On one trip, we were idle chatting in the car and I mentioned something about having 10 kids. She sat up and said that she had to go jump overboard. 20+ years later she, and the 2 kids, are still around. Good times I still appreciate to this day.

I took the ferry to see my now husband for Liberty weekend and graduation in the summer of 1987. I loved the ferry

My wife and I sailed across Delaware Bay from Lewes to Cape May on a beautiful warm day on October 20, 2014. Our Ferry was The Cape Henlopen. We were driving up to Philadelphia after visiting my wife's cousin in Northern Virginia. I didn't want to drive up on the busy freeway so, while at home in Alaska, I looked for alternative ways to go and found out about the ferry and I made reservations from home. What a pleasant trip once we got off of I-95 and headed towards Annapolis on US 50. I love large bridges and driving across the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge crossing Chesapeake Bay east of Annapolis was amazing. The drive through the more rural parts of Maryland and Delaware was so beautiful. Landing at Cape May and driving up New Jersey on the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway for the first time was very interesting. Driving across the Benjamin Franklin Bridge was also another treat.

“Come back” Come back” Come back” My favorite ferry in the fleet ❤ I lived in Maryland most of my life and my dad was from South Philly, but he was working in Maryland when he met my mom and they stayed in Maryland… So many Jersey Shore summers growing up..Forget Ocean City Maryland. It was always Wildwood New Jersey, well, Atlantic City until the casinos came, so many ferry rides, I used to love when my dad would race to get to the ferry to make it by a certain time… in all honesty that was a big part of the trip.. just driving through Delaware, the back way ..going through so many little towns, to get to the ferry in Lewis DE ❤❤❤
P.S, I don’t actually hate Ocean City Maryland. It’s a cool place to go to once in a while. I’ll just take the Jersey shore any day.. Now I live in North Carolina, I’m all about OBX. My last visit to Wildwood was 2017. I hope to get back there one day before I go onto the next life..the next adventure.You rock Joey! Great first name, haha even though I go by my middle name now, Rocky

This is crazy. I was on one of these last summer.

I know this sounds silly but does the ocean get higher when ships sink😮

[wildmandon]

My wife and I took my father on the ferry boat back in the 90's on Father's Day. This may have been the boat we rode. We were foot passengers.

[Indycantdie]

I’m gonna miss riding on that ship I’ve been on it countless times in my life

An underwater camera showing the decent downward would have been great. Did they sink it shallow enough to be an artificial reef?
