The first ferry connecting Manhattan to Williamsburg was established in the early 19th century, connecting to North Second Street in Williamsburg. The Grand Street Ferry began operations in 1812, and took over and stopped the former a few years later.Nathaniel Scudder Prime, A History of Long Island: from its first settlement by Europeans, to the year 1845, pages 349 to 350
