Nice! I spent a lot of time in that area, climbed the lighthouse a few times as a child.
The Pennsylvania Railroad's ferry Maryland, built 1907 and photographed sometime in the late 1930s by my Grandfather on Kodachrome slide film. The ferry served to link Old Point Comfort (near Hampton, VA) and Cape Charles, VA on the eastern shore of the Virginia Peninsula.
I revere Kodachrome and its ability to retain an image such as this, which is posted here with very little rework. If my grandfather had shot this image on any other brand of color film, the image would have long been lost decades ago. Most of his slides from this era are not in cardboard mounts, but are instead framed between two sheets of glass held tight by a sort of encasement as done by Kodak's lab some 75 years ago.
