When I went looking for pictures of the ferry, I thought I'd found some...then discovered that most, if not all, online pictures of the "Drayton Island Ferry" appear to actually show the Fort Gates Ferry, as they show a barge and boat identical to this one. I considered whether the Forest Service was wrong and that is, in fact, the Drayton Island ferry, but note the powerlines in the background - high wires like that run across the river at the Fort Gates crossing, not the Drayton Island one, so I'm virtually certain that is in fact the Fort Gates ferry. Just putting this here as a caveat emptor for anyone who looks at Flickr for photographs and goes "aha!" like I did at first! - The BushrangerOne ping only 09:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
