Update: Temporary Change in Ferry Service

Islesboro & Vinalhaven Service Tuesday and Wednesday 07/05 & 7/06

Due to crew shortages, the M/V Capt. E. Frank Thompson will be operating a Hybrid schedule on Vinalhaven on 07/05 and 07/06 to provide service to Islesboro. The Thompson will depart Vinalhaven at 7 a.m. to Rockland, and load at Rockland at 8:45 a.m. for Islesboro. (Islesboro traffic will need to purchase tickets on Islesboro or Lincolnville Beach.
