Cable ferry

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coin-operated cable ferry at Espevær in Bømlo, Norway

A cable ferry (known as chain ferry , swing ferry , floating bridge , or punt ) is a ferry that is guided (and in some cases propelled ) across a river by cables connected to both shores . Early cable ferries used either rope or steel chains , with the latter resulting in the name "chain ferry". Both of these were replaced by wire cable in the 19th century .
