12197. Dunlop, Tom. The Chappy Ferry Book. Back and Forth Between Two Worlds ~ 527 Feet Apart. 2012. Vineyard Stories. 128p. Soft wraps. Photographs by Alison Shaw. DVD by John Wilson. This is a delightful, fact-filled history of one of the shortest, oldest and most unusual ferries in the country – the Chappaquiddick ferry on Martha’s Vineyard. It includes stories about the blind man who skippered it for nearly forty years, the seaplane that struck it in 1937, and the roles it played in the filming of the movie Jaws. The book includes a centerfold illustration showing how the ferry works and a 15-minute DVD of The Chappy Ferry Movie hosted by Dick Ebersol, former chairman of NBC Sports, who has loved the ferry all of his life. Filled with hundreds of vintage photographs and more. Fine reading. (M). $25.95.
