Captain William Abraham Pitt (29 November 1841 – 12 September 1909) was a Canadian ferryman from the Kingston Peninsula of New Brunswick.
He was from Reed's Point, Kings County, New Brunswick, and for over thirty years he operated a small sail and oars scow ferry connecting the Kingston Peninsula with the Kennebecasis Valley.
He ran the ferry cable across the river allowing it to sink into place with the spring thaw.
By the middle of the 20th century, New Brunswick's road network improved and cable ferries to carry passengers and vehicles could be found in many river communities.
[2][4][5] One of the two cable ferries currently operating at Gondola Point is named the "William Pitt II" in his honour.
