HISTORY. The ferry service has been a vital life-line to the Island's long established community, as well as the many thousands of people visiting Wolfe Island and coming from the United States into Canada. In 1904, Wolfe Island bought the original Wolfe Islander. In 1946, the Ontario government bought Wolfe Islander II. In 1964, the province assumed ferry control and initiated free highway access. Wolfe Islander III had her maiden voyage in 1978. Its successor, Wolfe Islander IV, entered service in 2024.
