Winnisimmet Ferry
The Winnisimmet Ferry was a ferry between Chelsea, Massachusetts, United States, and Boston's North End. Founded in 1631, when Chelsea was called Winnisimmet, it was the oldest ferry in the country. It ceased operations in 1917.. The original ferry was started by Thomas Williams on 18 May 1631. After Harris' untimely death in 1634, William Stitson took over the ferry.
A temporary ferry service under the same name began on May 15, 1990 during early Big Dig construction, running between Chelsea and Rowes Wharf in Boston.
