"There’s something nice about small and simple things—they create their own kind of uniqueness."

For many, this may be their first time hearing about one of the last remaining international forms of transportation in North America. But for Colin Smith, it’s always been a part of his life. From riding as a child from his family’s cottage to visit relatives in the U.S., to now operating the ferry himself, Colin takes us on a journey through the life of the boat—and his own story within it.
