follow signs to the ferry until you are at the foot of the hill just before
the ferry, then you want to take Dayton St towards the water (west).
depending on whether you approach from the north or the south, Dayton is
the stop light just after (from north) or just before from south) the ferry
terminal itself.
follow Dayton over the RR tracks, bearing left to stay on main road. as
you cross the tracks, you'll see the pier right in front of you, street
parking is best, tho may have to drive down the street a bit to find a spot
just now.
