The "tramway" station, a common term then for what would now be called light rail, these days with electric traction. |
Ferryville sounds like the name of a ferry terminus, you may think, but it referred to a French Minister, Jules Ferry, during the time of the French colonization of Tunisia (1881–1956). Since 1956 it has been named Menzel Bourguiba. Nevertheless, despite being on a lake, it has access to the Mediterranean through a canal at nearby Bizerte and has a shipyard.
