Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry
The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry crosses Long Island Sound between the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut and the Long Island village of Port Jefferson, New York.
==History==
The first ferry service began in 1872 and proved popular.
The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company was subsequently founded in 1883 by several backers, including P.T. Barnum, who served as the first president of the ferry line. Another important founder of the line was Charles E. Tooker, who was the first captain of the Nonowantuc. All season transportation began in 1983 with the launching of the ''Grand Republic''. Since 1980, the President has been Brian McAllister who also owns one hundred percent of the company's shares. The McAllisters purchased the company in 1960 from Joseph Tooker.
Both the city of Bridgeport and the Bridgeport Port Authority receive a percentage of the ferry's ticket sales.〔http://www.bridgeportct.gov/CityClerk/Documents/Committee%20Minutes/Budget/BudMins2007-2008.pdf〕
