THIS PENNANT IS PRE 1964 AND PART OF HISTORY
SS Princess Anne was a Virginia Ferry Company (VFC) steamship that plied the route across Chesapeake Bay between Little Creek, near Norfolk, and Kiptopeke Beach, at the southern end of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. She was known for her streamlined superstructure, designed by Raymond Loewy, which attracted the attention of the newsreels and the nautical press.
Princess Anne continued in service on Chesapeake Bay until 1964, when the opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge–Tunnel made the ferry service redundant. Sold to the Delaware River and Bay Authority, she was renamed New Jersey and placed on a route between Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes, Delaware. In 1979, she was sold again, renamed Greenport, and subsequently operated between New York and Rhode Island.
After a failed attempt to convert her into a casino ship, she was sunk in 1993 as an artificial reef and scuba diving site off the coast of West Palm Beach, Florida.[1]
