The M/V Island Home is a ferry built by Vt Halter Marine in 2007 for the The Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority it is the replacement for the beloved M/V Islander.
The M/V Island Home was named after the sidewheel steamer Island Home which served Martha's Vineyard for most of the second half of the nineteenth century.
Designed by Elliot Bay Design Group of Seattle, and built by VT Halter Marine, Moss Point, MS. Her construction cost was listed at $32.1 million. She's a double ended ferry in the same genre of the Islander, MV, and Nantucket. 255 feet in length, making her the SSA's longest ferry. Her launch date was originally listed as July 2006, but she didn't debut until this year, with an in service date of March 5, 2007, and I managed to catch her in action late June of this year (2006).
She is serving the route between Woods Hole and Vineyard Haven. Her passenger capacity is 1200, with inside seating for 625 and outside at 422. The freight deck can accommodate 60 vehicles with an additional 16 on hydraulic lift decks, for a total capacity of 76. The freight deck can also be configured to hold motor coached, trucks or semi-trailers.
She's powered by two EMD diesels delivering a total of 6000hp, and has a top speed of 16 knots. She survived hurricane Katrina pre-launch in 2005.
The M/V Islander is a 201' long ferry operated by the Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority. It was built in 1950 by Maryland drydock company and was the main ferry for Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority until March 5th, 2007, when it was replaced with the new M/V Island Home.

On a very warm June afternoon, residents of Plainfield, a southwest suburb of Chicago, and surrounding locales joined together for a short march to celebrate Juneteenth and to raise their collective voice against what they perceived as racial injustice. The march began at Plainfield Central High School and tracked near the downtown area before gathering in Settlers Park next to the village hall. Once there, the remaining hour was spent in listening and reflection upon the words of people from the community, a religious leader, and local musicians. According to my best estimate, well over 300 people showed up, many with their families and young children.

Facial casts of Nias islanders, J.P. Kleiweg de Zwaan, 1910
In the early 20th century, the Dutch anthropologist J.P. Kleiweg de Zwaan studied the physical features of human races. On Nias Island in the former Dutch East Indies, he recorded the appearance of a group of living men by making plaster moulds of their faces. The moulds were brought to the Netherlands, where lifelike casts were made of them. For anthropologists, these numbered casts embodied the ethnic diversity of Nias islanders.
