Woodland Ferry, Historic ferry crossing on Nanticoke River in Woodland, Delaware
The Woodland Ferry spans the Nanticoke River with a cable-operated vessel that transports vehicles and passengers between the river banks.
Established in the 1740s by James Cannon, this ferry crossing remained under private ownership until the mid-19th century when local government assumed operations.
The Georgian architecture of Cannon Hall, the associated historic residence built around 1810, represents early American building traditions in Delaware.
The current vessel, Tina Fallon, introduced in 2007, carries up to six vehicles across the Nanticoke River throughout the year except on national holidays.
The Delaware Department of Transportation maintains this last remaining cable ferry in Delaware, which has operated continuously since at least 1793.
