Let this site be a tribute to the operators, crews, support staff, and passengers that made this service a
unique part of early Western Pennsylvania culture.

Welcome! to the official website for the Allenport-Fayette City, Pa. Ferryboat Service that ran on the
mighty Monongahela River during the golden age of steel and coal. The data has taken years to compile and
will be updated often. All sources are from the Jacobs family and their spouses who owned and operated the
service starting in the 1800's.
Visit often, and please send any comments or info you may have.
