For Sale: One Surplus Staten Island Ferry

Seems that the City of New York is looking to sell off a spare "double ended passenger/vehicle ferry" used for the Staten Island - Manhattan route.


For Sale: THE GOV. HERBERT H. LEHMAN

No mention of the price, although I suspect that it might be negotiable considering that there can't be too many places that can use such a large ferry. Then again, this might be the perfect opportunity to start a new ferry service, as long as you don't want to operate it in Hawaii.

As first spotted in the September Edition of MarineLog.

Update:
The Staten Island Ferry blog can be located here.

Perhaps the Washington State Dept of Transportation could use it to replace one of their 80 year old Steel Eclectics.

Being a boat pimp, I could collect 10% for brokering the deal.
