Transportation

Hollis has historically served as the transportation gateway for Prince of Wales Island to the regional hub of Ketchikan.

Ferry

At first, it was the only community of Prince of Wales Island to receive ferry access from the Alaska Marine Highway, but in 2002, the Marine Highway ceased service to Hollis in lieu of the new Inter-Island Ferry Authority (IFA). Now Hollis is homeport to the IFA's first ship, the M/V "Prince of Wales" which makes daily (or twice daily on Summer Fridays) runs between Hollis and Ketchikan. [ cite web
