Cape May-Lewes Ferry 10.jpg: May 14, 1974. UNDER WRAPS. Seats on the new flagship of the Cape May-Lewes, Del., ferry, the M.V. Delaware, remain covered in plastic while the vessel undergoes performance tests in the Delaware Bay. Dedication of the ship will take place in June and at 90-day intervals will be joined by two other new vessels, the M.V. New Jersey and the M.V. Twin Capes. The vessels can carry up to 100 cars and 800 passengers at one crossing. Press photo by Tom Kinnemand Jr. Historical photo archives
