Seagulls Galore

The ferry trip to and from Fort Fisher is a fun aspect of a Carolina Beach vacation in its own right, featuring incredible far-away views of the banks of the Cape Fear River, dozens if not hundreds of seagulls that follow the stern of the boat begging for handouts, and miles of open water in virtually every direction. Piers at the ferry terminal also host these seagulls.

Ferry Building Designs

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a terminal for ferries that travel across the San Francisco Bay, a food marketplace and an office building. It is located on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.

The restored Beaux Arts-style Ferry Building, once described as “a famous city’s most famous landmark,” is the quintessential picture of elegance with a 660-foot-long skylit nave with 11 monumental brick and terracotta arches, 34 clathri windows each 11 feet tall; 12 steel arched trusses, and 35 other arches restored.
