Harpers Ferry, located at the confluence of the beautiful Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, offers visitors a breathtaking view described by Thomas Jefferson as a "scene worth a voyage across the Atlantic." From George Washington's 1796 establishment of the federal armory, through John Brown's 1859 raid to foment slave rebellion and Civil War battles, and to one of the first successful colleges for African Americans, Harpers Ferry has played a significant role in America's history. Hundreds of vintage postcards, many of which are very scarce today, depict this history, the various scenic views and buildings in town, and the daily lives of townspeople over the last century.

The purpose of this rich and innovatively presented ethnography is to explore mobility, sense of place and time on the British Columbia coast. On the basis of almost 400 interviews with ferry passengers and over 250 ferry journeys, the author narrates and reflects on the performance of travel and on the consequences of ferry-dependence on island and coastal communities. Ferry Tales inaugurates a new series entitled Innovative Ethnographies for Routledge (innovativeethnographies.net). The purpose of this hypermedia book series is to use digital technologies to capture a richer, multimodal view of social life than was otherwise done in the classic, print-based tradition of ethnography, while maintaining the traditional strengths of classic, ethnographic analysis.

Published in 1999, this work is mainly related to ferry services and operations in a number of marketplaces in Europe. Ferry services in the the Atlantic Arc to the West, the Baltic Sea to the North and the Eastern Mediterranean to the Southeast of Europe are reviewed. Ferry markets in the Baltic area and the Mediterranean have been crucial markets in particular becaus of their continuing development - mostly after the post-communism changes in the East European countries and the civil war in the former Yugoslavia. Developments in the Atlantic Arc and the effects of the Channel Tunnel on the ferry market in that area are also explained and conclusions and comment offered.
