  • The date is January 16, 2022 and the first of the highly anticipated Ollis class ferries has just entered service on the famed Staten Island Ferry. Come along for a round trip during the PM rush hour between Manhattan and Staten Island and get an idea of just what the future holds for this iconic ferry service.

    I remember when I used to live in the story of Queens New York I used to travel over to the city to take a ferry ride to travel to Staten Island rather if it's to visit a dear friend of mine may God bless his soul he's gone for me now sadly he used to live in the Great kills section of Staten Island or just to head to Staten Island to just venture around to hit the green belt trail just for a country Walk I remember taking the older ferry boats at the time especially the Andrew j Barbary and Kennedy forgot the full name the ones with the wooden seats and the first modern bolt they came out with back in 2010 or so. I moved to Scranton Pennsylvania about 6 years ago I would love to travel back to my home City just to write the new Michael H Ollis ferry it looks very modern and futuristic and awesome. Love the video at least I got to see it in Memorex LOL.

      To Be Honest I like Riding the Molinari Ferries Because they
      Run Better than the Newhouse and Barberi Ferries And those two are old since the 80s

      The Kennedy was gone about a year before the Ollis arrived. All three Ollis class ferries are now in service, and the Barberi class still has yet to be retired.

      The Samuel I New House may be retired as of right now. According to data, it shows that it has not sailed for over 100 days.

      Respectfully disagree, they went all the way back to the 1965 Kennedy class boats (last one just retired) for the design inspiration and features for the Ollis class. It might be poetic justice that the previous classes that had some named for local politicians were less than stellar, with some having the reliability characteristics of a floating gypsy cab.
