An inexpensive passenger ferry also made Chelsea a convenient destination for the rising number of immigrants arriving in Boston. With jobs and affordable housing, the city by the early twentieth century had grown from a summer retreat for the wealthy to one of the most densely populated cities in America. When fire struck again, this time in Chelsea on April 12, 1908, it demolished a large section of the city. Images of the fire, the rebuilding that followed, the Great Depression, the war years, and one of the biggest changes to face the city--the building of the Mystic River Bridge--are all contained in Chelsea in the 20th Century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952501555488,"sku":"NEW0738536288","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/chelsea-in-the-20th-century-images-of-america-0738536288","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
