I wonder if your readers could help with my research into the history of small ferries plying our rivers and estuaries?

I would be pleased to hear from readers whose families operate these ferries or perhaps know of one in an off-the-beaten-track location and who may have some anecdotes or memories of interesting trips.

They could help me preserve the memories and future viability of an important part of our transport heritage.
