Hyannisport Wharf was a railroad wharf in the Hyannisport section of Hyannis, Massachusetts.

History

The Cape Cod Branch Railroad opened to in May 1848. In 1850, the railroad was given permission to extend to Hyannis, where steamships could dock to reach Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. After a debate whether the railroad should run directly from Sandwich to Hyannis, or take a longer route with stations at and, the longer route was chosen. The Cape Cod Railroad (successor to the Cape Cod Branch Railroad) began service to Hyannisport Wharf in July 1854. In July 1872, the railroad opened a branch line to, which provided a faster route to the islands. Hyannis Branch passenger service was cut back to, though the wharf remained in use for freight. The Cape Cod Railroad became part of the Old Colony Railroad in 1872, and in turn part of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1893. The line between Hyannisport and Hyannis was abandoned in 1937; most of the right-of-way is now Old Colony Road, while part of the fill for the wharf remains extant.
