About this audio guide
This guide to the little yellow shuttle boats crisscrossing Lake Geneva starts with a stranger contraption from eighteen twenty-five: an earlier ferry on this same short crossing, and the American consul who dreamed it up. You will hear what powered it, why Geneva could not stop laughing, and how a very different company came to take over this water decades later.
