The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry’s 140-Year Journey #bridgeportct #portjefferson #ferry #history Since 1883, the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry has linked Connecticut and Long Island. Founded by P.T. Barnum and Captain Charles Tooker, it’s evolved from steamships to a modern four-vessel fleet with car decks, open-air seating, and the retro Steamboat Lounge. Owned by the McAllister tugboat family since 1960, the ferry still makes the hour-long crossing—carrying 140 years of history. | Cal
