From 1881 until 1911, Captain James Quick (local folk fondly called him "Cap Quick") crossed Cayuga Lake more than 40,000 times piloting ferry boat passengers and cargo between Kidders and King Ferry on his boat "the Busy Bee." His ferry boat service was probably the very last one to operate on Cayuga Lake.(Submitted on September 5, 2024.)
