Scope and Content

Single brochure detailing a new ferry experience with an air-hover craft that traveled between San Diego and Tijuana in the 1970s. There is information about what to do at each stop, the times of the stops, the ticket pricing, along with a little graphic detailing how this modern ferry works, ensuring that it was deemed safe by the U.S. Coast Guard. The company advertised a cheap, 15 minute trip up and down the line that would come complete with a stewardess and a licensed pilot that would ensure your safety as you skipped the morning traffic.
