Ocean Isle Museum Foundation, Inc

The Ocean Isle Museum Foundation, Inc in Ocean Isle Beach, NC is a museum dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the area. They recently unveiled an exhibit on the Old Ocean Isle Beach Ferry, which was the main means of transportation between the mainland and the east end of Ocean Isle Beach in the 1950s. The exhibit features a working model of the ferry crafted by retired civil engineer Gerry Strickland. The original ferry, built in 1950, was a wooden platform that could hold two cars and was operated by a motorized pulley system. The ferry played a crucial role in connecting the mainland and the island before a swing bridge was built in 1959. The museum provides visitors with a glimpse into the past and the importance of the ferry in the development of Ocean Isle Beach.Generated from the website
