Horne's private ferry, the only international ferry in the region, runs from May to October to Cape Vincent from "Horne Point" (Point Alexandria) on Wolfe Island, Ontario, Canada) in the Thousand Islands. Capacity is about twelve cars. The family-owned ferry has run since 1802 when they were first licensed to operate between Wolfe Island and Cape Vincent as well as Wolfe Island and Kingston, Ontario.

Beginning in April 1852, the Cape Vincent branch of Rome, Watertown & amp; Ogdensburg Railroad (RW & O) conveys both passengers and delivery between waterfront and Watertown (and on to Rome) via Chaumont and Brownville. This route is an important link from the southern part of the state to the ferry terminal to Canada. However, its importance diminished with the company's acquisition of Utica & amp; Black River Railroad (with its depot at Clayton) in 1886. In 1895, a storm thumped the Cape Vincent station building, killing two people inside. From the beginning of the 20th century onwards, traffic declined until passenger service ended in March 1936, with deliveries of goods in the early 1950s. The second and final station building, having served its original purpose for more than 40 years, still stands by the beach; now serves as the Anchor Marina office.
