Memorial of Ferry Service at Haneda

Haneda means “wing field” in Japanese. It sounds like a name created for an airport. Actually, it is a frequently asked question if the name was chosen when the airport was created. The answer is “no.” This area was already called Haneda in 19th century, before Wright Brothers were born.

 

This memorial tells about the ferry service at Haneda. It carried people and goods across the Tama River. The service already existed in 19th century, and continued until Daishi Bridge was built in 1939.
