Change at Warren line docks shifts traffic to Charlestown
On October 1 the Warren line will stop unloading at East Boston docks and transfer to Leyland line docks in Charlestown. Leyland steamers will in turn unload at Warren docks in East Boston, likely enlarging Charlestown docks to handle the traffic. The move will reduce East Boston business and force 100 to 150 workers and families to relocate, affecting local storekeepers and merchants who rely on dock traffic. Warren line has averaged four to ten steamers monthly, reflecting current prosperity.
