The Tottenville ferry slip was close to the Staten Island railroad's Tottenville station. In the 1920s we used to take the ferry to Perth Amboy where we could catch a bus to Asbury Park or Keensburg where there were amussements for our family's children. Later, when my older brother had a car, we take Amboy road to tottenville and by brother would drive his car on to the ferry. As I recall the ferry was a side-wheeler.
Some of our Princ's Bay neighbors would to go to Perth Amboy to shop, but my family did not do so. We were only Summer residents in Princ's Bay, and my family did their shopping in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
