Martha's Vineyard is located approximately seven miles off the southern coast of [[Cape Cod]]. It is reached by a ferry that departs from [[Woods Hole, Massachusetts]], and by several other ferries departing from [[Falmouth, Massachusetts|Falmouth]], [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]], [[Hyannis, Massachusetts|Hyannis]], [[Quonset Point, Rhode Island]], and the East 35th Street ferry terminal in [[Manhattan]]. The [[The Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority|Steamship Authority]] operates most of the shorter routes, while Martha's Vineyard Fast Ferry and [[Hy-Line Cruises]] run faster, longer distance ferries to Rhode Island and Hyannis. There are direct ferries to each place. [[SeaStreak]] operates the seasonal, weekend [[New York City]] to Martha's Vineyard route. One ferry departs New York City on Friday afternoon and returns on Sunday night. The trip through Long Island Sound and along the shoreline of Rhode Island and Massachusetts takes about five and a quarter hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://seastreak.com/ferry-routes-and-schedules/between-new-jersey-new-york-city-marthas-vineyard/|title=Schedules and Fares between New Jersey/New York and Martha's Vineyard|publisher=Seastreak|access-date=April 21, 2022}}</ref> In the era before modern highways and jet planes, travelers took [[New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad]] trains from [[New York City]] or [[Boston]] to Woods Hole or Hyannis, at which point they would embark on ferries to the island.
