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.[1] It ceased operations in 1917.[2]

A temporary ferry service under the same name was begun on May 15, 1990 during early Big Dig construction.[3]
