MBTA Ferry Renaming Ceremony | September 10, 2025
On September 10, 2025 the MBTA held a renaming ceremony for the ferry that serves Lynn. The new name, the Frederick Douglass, was submitted over the summer by a local fifth-grade student (now entering sixth grade) and was selected for its strong connection to Lynn’s history and character.
The event featured participation from Thurgood Marshall Middle School students, community members, and elected officials. Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, MassDOT Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt, MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng, and other state and municipal leaders joined the celebration.
