Description: The Salem Ferry, Nathaniel Bowditch, approaches its dock in Salem, Massachusetts. Two Caterpillar diesel engines allow a top speed of 36 knots, making the trip to Boston in about 45 minutes in good weather. The Salem Ferry is a 92 foot long catamaran. It was purchased with the help of a $1.6 million Federal grant. Recently land was purchased to expand the dock and allow for a future cruise ship terminal. The western shore of Marblehead is visible in the background.
