Define Ferry - A ferry is a form of transport, usually a boat or ship,
used for carrying passengers and sometimes their vehicles.
Ferry around - to be transported around - a term frequently used by parents
of teenagers as in "We had to ferry Jamie around all week"
Ferrys are also used to carry freight lorries or containers and cars.
Some cities such as Amsterdam and Venice may have ferries called water
buses or taxis.
Ferries from Great Britain sail to France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Ireland.
Some ferries carry tourists and freight - some carry just freight. Those which are car-carrying are sometimes called RORO (roll-on, roll-off) for the ease of which vehicles can board and leave.
