Used to ride the Chester-Bridgeport Ferry from Pa. to N.J in the 60's to early 70's.

There were numerous bridges connecting the two states up North but nothing in the south eastern area. Don't know how many years the ferry ran but it stopped around 1973 after the Commodore Barry Bridge was completed. The two piers were offset.Might have been due to the current in the Delaware River.

It was by no means a scenic route. The river was filthy. There was an oil refinery on the Pa. side and farm land on the Jersey side. If you ever wanted an upclose view of an oil tanker coming at you then this ride never ceased to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
