Celebration Tentative plans for Bicentennial


We are again running the Ferry with all
volunteer help, and are looking for any new volunteers that would be willing to help out in any way. We
accept donations instead of charging a set fare. To be able to operate the vessel, a Pilot & Engineers
(P&E) license is required. Any one willing to give of their time that has a valid license, may contact
John Cheney, Director of Vessels, at 386-3065. Testing for the P&E test will be held in May for anyone
wishing to get their license and details of this can also be obtained from John Cheney.

THE SEA LION SHIP



The Sea Lion Ship sits at the entrance to Daniel Reed Pier at Barcelona New York.
For more information on the Sea Lion Ship, click here.

We welcome all visitors to come and visit both vessels. A relaxing way to spend a weekend
afternoon is to take a ride on the Ferry or sit in the park and watch her cross the narrows. You can drive
your car, motorcycle, bicycle, horse, or walk on. All who ride her are enjoying a little piece of history,
as she has been running continually for 196 years connecting Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point, to Stow
Road in Stow, NY. The summer hours will be posted at the landings, and in flyers. If you have a special
event, the Ferry can be a part of that also if prior arrangements are made to have her running.



The organization would like to thank all of those who have helped us with their donations of
time, knowledge, work, or money. We appreciate your assistance and willingness to help us keep these
great historic vessels, maintained and available to the public to assist in the educational and cultural
enrichment of the community and region. Please contact John Cheney with any questions or for more
information at 716-386-3065.
