The Ste. Genevieve (Mo.)-Modoc Ferry, one of the oldest on the Mississippi River, resumed service on May 18 after a 14-month layup for hull repairs at JB Marine. It passed its five-year inspection and received its certificate of inspection in March. From Illinois, the ferry provides direct access to the shops, restaurants and historic sites of French colonial Ste. Genevieve. From Ste. Genevieve, the ferry offers a quick route to the historic site of an early French fort, Fort de Chartres, and Fort Kaskaskia State Historic Parks, as well as other attractions in southern Illinois. Ronnie Inman is president of Ste. Gen-Modoc Ferry Inc., which operates the ferry. He has also served as executive director of the New Bour- bon Regional Port Authority in Per- ryville, Mo., which owns it, since 1983. Demand has been at a record level, Inman said, and the ferry has been "su- per-busy," he said. |
