Ferry
A ferry is a form of transport, usually a
boat or
ship, but also other forms, carrying (or ferrying) passengers and sometimes their
vehicles. Ferries are also used to transport
freight (in lorries and sometimes unpowered freight containers) and even
railroad cars. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A foot-passenger ferry with many stops, such as in
Venice, is sometimes called a
water bus or
water taxi.

Ferry
To wait at a ferry for a boat and see the waters swift and muddy, you will be baffled in your highest wishes and designs by unforeseen circumstances.
To cross a ferry while the water is calm and clear, you will be very lucky in carrying out your plans, and fortune will crown you.
