| 摘要： | Amid all the new, non-traditional designs, two historic ferries are still going strong. In the midst of the pandemic, "we took a bad hit with a lot of people staying home. Business fell off really badly - about 75%-80% or more. Then we had a shot in the arm," said Capt. Paul Anderson, who with his wife Deborah, owns Anderson Ferry, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. A truck collision on the I-75 bridge closed the Ohio River span for six weeks. "We had more business than ever before. We were more fortunate than a lot of businesses." By late this spring they were close to their normal load of about 500 vehicles a day from Hebron, Ky., to Cincinnati. They run year-round. The service dates to 1817 when George Anderson got a license to operate the ferry, which was originally powered by two horses walking on a treadmill that turned the paddlewheels. A subsequent owner bought the operation in 1865 and built a steam paddlewheel boat, according to federal documents. |
