Vinalhaven has a commercial area a few blocks deep (or
less) around Carver's Harbor centered around the 'Tide motel and the fishing fleet.

This construction is the building of a new ferry
terminal. This was shot on July 1, 2000. I was told
that the terminal would allow for a slightly larger
ferry than the fleet currently in use. The ferry
terminal is on the left as we enter the harbor.

This is a view of downtown and the
center of Carver harbor.

This photo is looking to the right from the
ferry. I have some photos of this area taken from
on shore. Those are in a later chapter. Note the
large number of floating small objects. These are
marker bouys for lobster traps. They are all over
the salt-water shallows and tidal basins in the
area. Lobstering constitutes a large part of the
output of the local industry.

Here we are arriving at the ferry
terminal. Notice the ramp that will drop onto the
ferry to allow the cars to enter and leave the
ferry. Also note the seagulls on the top of the
terminal gate control building.

Our ferry is approaching the dock.

At the entrance to the harbor there
is a boat heading out.

Now we're on the island, this is the Vinalhaven
ferry terminal. On the right you can see the new
terminal being constructed.

Here's another view of the new
construction.

Most of the harbor is surrounded by
fishing businesses.
This pier is stacked with lobster traps.
