Overview

The M/V Park City is a ferry boat owned and operated by the Bridgeport and Port Jefferson Steamboat Company. It mainly operates as a passenger and vehicle ferry service across the Long Island Sound, but the ship did support research efforts during the Long Island Sound Tropospheric Ozone Study (LISTOS) investigation by collecting ozone and other measurements. The ship can travel up to 15.5 knots and is 85 m long and 14 m wide.
