We visited two towns:
A large ferry transports people, trucks, cars, and buses between Wood's Hole
and MV at Oak Bluffs.
The ferry crosses the Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds
Ev, Cindy, Aunt Lil, and Barry on the MV ferry.
Loading the MV Ferry for the crossing. 
Woods Hole Coastal Houses as we prepare to depart.

Research vessel Cape Hatteras in port at Woods Hole visiting for a month. The boat measures 41m in length.
"The R/V CAPE HATTERAS is owned by the National Science Foundation and operated under a renewable Charter Party Agreement by the Duke/UNC Oceanographic Consortium. Her homeport is at Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina and she is scheduled by UNOLS (University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System). Her areas of operation are the North American coast from Nova Scotia to the Caribbean, and beyond Bermuda.
She is operated primarily as a Regional Zone Research Vessel."
Island Coastal Houses on the starboard side as we sail into Oak Bluffs.
Truck Ferry Katama working hard with its load of semis.
People Ferry making the crossing. This one sure is oddly shaped!
Oak Bluffs is crammed full of tourists during the peak summer months.
The small Chappy Ferry making the crossing from Edgartown to Chappaquiddick with a UPS truck set for delivery.
Chappaquiddick is part of the MV island however, due to its odd peninsular shape, 95% of vehicles take this short little ferry across.

USE OF THE COPYRIGHT NOTICE
Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to authors of “original works of authorship.” When a work is published under the authority of the copyright owner (see definition of “publication” below), a notice of copyright may be placed on all publicly distributed copies or phonorecords. The use of the notice is the responsibility of the copyright owner and does not require permission from, or registration with, the Copyright Office.
Use of the notice may be important because it informs the public that the work is protected by copyright, identifies the copyright owner, and shows the year of first publication. Furthermore, in the event that a work is infringed, if the work carries a proper notice, the court will not give any weight to a defendant’s interposition of an innocent infringement defense —that is, that he or she did not realize that the work was protected. An innocent infringement defense may result in a reduction in damages that the copyright owner would otherwise receive.
For works first published on and after March 1, 1989, use of the copyright notice is optional. Before March 1, 1989, the use of the notice was mandatory on all published works. Omitting the notice on any work first published before that date could result in the loss of copyright protection if corrective steps are not taken within a certain amount of time. The curative steps are described in this circular under “Omission of Notice and Errors in Notice.”
The Copyright Office does not take a position on whether reprints of works first published with notice before March 1, 1989, which are distributed on or after March 1, 1989, must bear the copyright notice.
