This time of year, there are lots of beautiful days for a bike ride to Oxford to catch the Oxford Ferry! This undated picture is a Found in Collection Talbot Historical Society image. Can you help identify any of these people who were Oxford Ferry travelers?

I am not surprised that no one has recognized any of the cyclists in the picture. But I am surprised that no one has pointed out that it is clearly Captain Bill Benson stepping out of his bridge station even though his back is largely turned toward the camera.
I remember Captain Benson as a venerable man who was kindly to everybody and especially to young children who wanted a chance to steer the ferry for a couple minutes. He always seem to be dressed in the work clothes shown here – blue jeans and a blue jean jacket on top of a work shirt
