The ''Wolfe Islander III'' is the ferry currently serving between Kingston, Ontario and Wolfe Island (Ontario). It can hold approximately 55 cars, and is end-loading. The length of car deck is 61 metres (200 feet). The vehicle height restriction is 4.4 m (14 feet, 5 inches). As it is the only public access to Wolfe Island, the vessel operates as a free ferry. Crossing time is approximately 20 minutes. It was launched into service on 5 February 1976 by then Ontario Minister of Transportation, James W. Snow.〔Wolfe Island Monthly News, February 2006. http://www.wolfeisland.com/mtnews/archives/2006_02.php〕 The previous ferry in service was the Wolfe Islander II. The ferry terminal on Wolfe Island varies by season. During the summer season (approximately April to December), the Marysville dock is used, while during the winter season (December to April), the Dawson’s Point dock is used, located east of Marysville. This route includes a bubbler system that stretches to the Barrack Street Dock in Kingston, Ontario.〔http://wolfeislandtransportationstudy.ca/pdf/Marine%20Structures%20Planning%20Report_June%202011.pdf〕 The Kingston Terminal is located at the foot of Barrack Street, at Ontario Street. Currently, this ferry service is being examined in a research study that has been ongoing since 1994.〔http://www.wolfeislandtransportationstudy.ca/study-background.html〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MV Wolfe Islander III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
