People still remember the figures of canoe drivers, mechanics, sailors reeling the big ferry struggling through the river, the person holding the monthly ticket waiting for the ferry, where the two ends are life. revived with the ferry market.
The diversified gaggle boat carried many passengers to the river, When the ferry was put into operation, with a canoe driver, a mechanic operating, a sailor "she ropes, coils", everything was improved. before. The whole group of 9 people, each working for 8 hours, changed shifts for the next person.
Operating the machine requires close coordination between the driver and the unit, but at that time radios and telephones were luxury, how to connect between the two ends, making Mr. Dat and Mr. Ha fit in the way of operation. . When ringing the bell to alert the passenger to the ferry, Mr. Dat used the iron bar to knock two hours, so that Mr. Ha started to run the engine, knocked four hours to speed up, knocked back three hours, then knocked once, the ferry stopped. Although "ancient" but fun to use.
The quiet season of the ferry is also calm and quiet, but when the water is floating, the river water rises, the river water becomes fierce, the ferry's brothers must be more rigid to ensure safe passage of passengers.
Through the old wharf, the green stone path down to the wharf is still present, the Puli cable column is still preserved by the people as reminiscent of the descendants of an old golden age. On the old ferry terminal, now is the livelihood of the young generation with floating restaurants on the river; hundreds of fish cages of fishermen on both banks of the river have contributed to the strong vitality of the old ferry.
