Chicago River Ferry Boat, 1922
|
Private ferry boats operated on the Chicago River for years after bridges eliminated the necessity of public ferries. The Wrigley Company, located just to the north of the Michigan Avenue Bridge by the early 1920s, operated a ferry for its executives and employees on the Chicago River. One imagines it transported workers between the company headquarters, the train stations, and other points along the river.
