ferry
A ship specifically configured for carrying passengers between two points. It permits persons to make their way from one place to another across a body of water, and it may carry vehicles, including commercial vehicles. A ferry is distinct from a cruise ship or a cargo ship. For a cruise ship the voyage itself is the destination, whereas with a ferry the journey's end point is the destination. While a ferry may carry cargo, in contrast to a cargo ship, this cargo is contained in a commercial vehicle accompanied by a driver.
