"Ferries operated into the 1960s in some parts of East Tennessee. Hi Cheatham, shown in this photograph taken on July 4, 1961, ran Bussell Ferry at Lenoir City for many years. He ferried people and their cars back and forth across the river several times a day." from Images of America: Lenoir City by Kate Clabough
