Nearly a million vehicles make the fifteen-minute voyage across the James each year. </p><p>The ferryboat <i>Captain John Smith</i> made the first automobile-ferry crossing of the James River on February 26, 1925. The privately owned business was founded by Captain Albert F. Jester. After the <i>Captain John Smith</i> was retired in the early 1950s, the deckhouse was put into adaptive use. For another 50 years, it was used as a private waterside cottage, perched on pilings in the <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_River_(Virginia)" title="Elizabeth River (Virginia)">Elizabeth River</a> near <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth,_Virginia" title="Portsmouth, Virginia">Portsmouth</a>. In 2003, the deckhouse was removed and donated to a preservation group in Surry County.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bridge_alternative_considerations">Bridge alternative considerations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jamestown_Ferry&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Bridge alternative considerations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <b>Eastern Virginia Bridge Company</b> considered building a bridge at the ferry location in 1928.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Replacing the ferry with a bridge is an issue which has been revisited by politicians, transportation officials, and the communities. <a href="/wiki/Elmon_T._Gray" title="Elmon T.

Opponents are concerned with adverse effects of potential increases in population that a permanent crossing may cause on the southern shore of the James River. In addition, the need to provide deepwater access for shipping would require either a high bridge or <a href="/wiki/Drawbridge" title="Drawbridge">drawbridge</a>, adding to the potential cost. There has been a strong desire by VDOT to avoid building any new drawbridges since the disastrous 1977 collision of the SS <i><a href="/wiki/Marine_Floridian" class="mw-redirect" title="Marine Floridian">Marine Floridian</a></i> into the <a href="/wiki/Benjamin_Harrison_Bridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Benjamin Harrison Bridge">Benjamin Harrison Bridge</a> at Jordan Point, a drawbridge located 35 miles upstream. The area south of the James is very rural and tolls would not be sufficient to cover the cost of construction.
