Why this record matters
“Frog Ferry” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Frog, Ferry and planned provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q139552901. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
