To search multiple websites for ships to Boston, try the New England custom search engine at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_ships.shtml If you don't have success there, try the USA search engine at http://www.searchforancestors.com/records/passenger.html You can also search offline, meaning microfilmed lists.Thse can be sent to a FHC. For a complete list of film numbers for ships going to Mass. after 1820, see http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_mass.shtml Find your date (year, month, day if known) and write down the NARA or Family History Centre film number you need. Then you can order the film in to your nearest FHC or have NARA do the lookup for you.
