MV Islander

MV Islander

The M/V "Islander" is a convert|201|ft|m|sing=on-long ferry formerly operated by the Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority (SSA). It was built in 1950 by Maryland Drydock Company and was the main ferry for Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority until March 5, 2007, when it was replaced with the new M/V "Island Home", a new ferry which is both larger and faster than the "Islander".

Initially expected to be sold for scrap, the M/V Islander was saved when the State of New York made a late $500,000 bid to purchase the vessel for service between Manhattan and Governors Island, slightly ironic since one of the current SSA ferries, M/V Governor was formerly in the same service. The ferry is currently docked at Governor's Island and is being renovated for its new assignment, which is scheduled to begin service in 2009.
