Boston In Transit - The Book
Figure 1.3 - Mapping Boston’s First Public Ferries, 1728
Will Burgis’ 1728 map of Boston depicts the Charlestown Ferry as a small boat next to the word “Ferry." The text “Win:1 Ferry” trails behind a modest boat rigged with sails. This may represent the Winnisimmet Ferry.
