Seriously, I hope they can find a qualified replacement. The job is harder than it looks.

There is still a ferry running between Parkersburg WV and Blennerhassett Island. I think it used to go to Belpre, Ohio, but they rerouted U.S. Rt. 50 so there are 3 bridges you can use now. According to a site about Ohio River ferries, there are a handful still running.
