The SHORE Line presents: Anchored in Tradition - 120 Years of Miller Boat Line

S2, E28 

In this episode, we hop aboard the Miller Ferry with President and General Manager Billy Market to explore over a century of island tradition and transportation. First, host Jill Bauer shares several upcoming Put-in-Bay and Middle Bass Island events – reasons you’ll want to carve out some island time soon. But how do you get there? Next, you'll hear from Billy, a third-generation family member, about how the company got its start, how it's evolved over the past 120 years, and what it’s like growing up on the docks of Lake Erie. From childhood memories to a specialized degree in ferry management, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the boats, the business, and the deep local roots that keep the islands connected. Whether you're a frequent rider or planning your first trip, this episode is packed with ferry facts, family history, and island charm. Plan your visit at MillerFerry.com.
