FER'RY, To pass over water in a boat.

FER'RY, n.

1. A boat or small vessel in which passengers and goods are conveyed over rivers or other narrow waters sometimes called a wherry. This application of the word is, I believe, entirely obsolete, at least in America.
2. The place or passage where boats pass over water to convey passengers.
3. The right of transporting passengers over a lake or stream. A.B. owns the ferry at Windsor. In New England, this word is used in the two latter senses.
