壱円ポッポ 1 yen poppo

墓参りの帰りに渡船に乗った。

I stepped on the ferryboat on my way home of the visit to a grave.

100mほどしかない海峡、尾道水道を渡る。

It cross "Onomichi-Suido" of the straits of only about 100m width.

昔は船賃が１円だったので、今でも尾道の人は、その渡船を「１円ポッポ」と呼ぶ。

The person of Onomichi still calls it "1 yen poppo" because a fare was 1 yen in old days.

今は、軽自動車で乗員が運転手のみなら９０円。

A fare is 90 yen a light car with only a driver now.

船が岸を離れると、オレンジ色の上着を着た乗務員さんが集金に回る。

When a ship leaves the bank, the crew who wore an orange jacket plays the collection of money.
