• Looking for an inexpensive ferry? The Jacksonville Port Authority is looking to sell the M/V Blackbeard, one of two ferries the Port owns. The Blackbeard was recently retired and is in storage in Green Cove Springs. The Port could have repaired the ferry, but those costs would have exceeded its market value of $780,500. To replace the Blackbeard would cost the Port $5.8 million, thus, according to the Port’s Tony Orsini, the ferry has been declared “surplus” and will be disposed of in the “most cost effective manner.”
