Yankee Ferry is definitely a home with a history. Built in 1907, it’s the oldest existing Ellis Island Ferry.
It started as a passenger steamer ferrying people between Portland, Maine and the Casco Bay Islands and went on to serve in both world wars.
It was restored in the 1990s and bought by Richard and Victoria Mackenzie-Childs in 2003. Since then the designer duo have made it their home. And now it could be yours…
Key details:
- 147 feet in length, a 29-foot beam, eight-foot draft with a steel hull
- First deck workroom/creative space
- Second deck with a ballroom with a stage and banquet table
- Docked at the Henry Street Pier in Red Hook, Brooklyn
- $1.25 million

In 1973 we published Shelter, which turned out to be station central for people interested in creating their own homes. Now, in the 21st century, we continue this dialog here online on shelter, carpentry, homesteading, gardening, and the home arts with this blog. We hope you will join us and contribute.
