Visitors' Reviews and Comments
Ted Mitchell (May 2013)
Hello, Just to let everyone know that the "F" for Ferry on the town map of St. George's is at the wrong (old) place. The ferry now leaves from another part of town. Two weeks ago I missed the 10:30 am ferry to Royal Naval Dockyard. I was exactly where the map showed and I saw the ferry going out of the bay. The next ferry was at 1:00 pm, so I took the bus back. No hard feelings, it's part of the adventure... ah ah ah.
