    The ferry service by the 'Marha's Vineyard' between Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod was interrupted on June 8 after mechanical problems sidelined the ferry

    The ferry service by the 'Marha's Vineyard' between Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod was interrupted on June 8 after mechanical problems sidelined the ferry .A breaker connected to a rudder tripped in the morning while the vessel was en route from Vineyard Haven on Martha’s Vineyard to Woods Hole in Falmouth. That breaker was quickly reset, and the 9:30 a.m. trip finished on schedule. The ferry was taken out of service so staff and Coast Guard officials could inspect and test it, prompting the authority to scrap two scheduled trips: a 10:45 a.m. journey from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven and a 12 p.m. ride in the opposite direction. The ship returned to service beginning with its 1:15 p.m. scheduled trip from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven.
