The Steamship Authority's new vessel is on its way to Massachusetts from Mobile, Alabama and it should arrive within days.
The M/V Barnstable is expected to complete its eight-day journey to the Steamship maintenance facility in Fairhaven on November 9th.
When the vessel is ready, it will mostly cover the Nantucket route, but there is no word yet on when it will be in service.
