New York to Boston by Boat
I mentioned the old Fall River Line the other day and wondered what it cost to go first class from New York to Fall River, Massachusetts. I have since found my ad for the Eastern Steamship Line in 1937. This was another way to travel from New York City and this is what the ad says:
$6.50 New low round-trip fare to Boston on the big liners Acadia and Saint John, via Long Island Sound and the Cape Cod Canal. Sail daily from New York at 5:30 pm. Due in Boston at 8 A.M. the next day. Roomy staterooms with reading lamps, telephones and hot and cold running water.. from $1 up. (Personal automobiles cost $12 round trip.)
Wouldn't it be fun to take this trip?
