History
The Ferry has been in regular service since 1827. Year 1827 (MDCCCXXVII) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian Calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...
Since Hurricane Katrina the ferry's schedule has changed. It leaves the West Bank on the hour and half hour and the East Bank on the quarter hour and three quarters hour. It has ceased running until midnight, the last departure leaving at 8:45 p.m. This has caused quite a hardship on the people of Algiers, many of whom work across the river and depend upon the ferry for transportation home. There has been activity from the City Council and from special interest groups (such as the newly formed citizens group "The Friends Of The Ferry") toward having the state restore the ferry's hours to those of pre-Katrina, so far without success.

Some aspects of the depiction of the Ferry in the film are contrary to real life. Notably in the film people driving on to the Ferry are required to leave their cars and go to the upper level during transit. In real life there is no such restriction; people may step out of their vehicles or remain inside them. Also, letters marking the two terminals "CANAL STREET" and "ALGIERS" were temporarily erected on the terminal roofs during filming.
