Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
After setting out water for a visit, there is a little time to look at the picture on the glass. Dry Dock 5, Shipways 1 and Constitution Pier give this Navy Yard view several named working elements to notice around the water.
The 1946 source records a compilation photograph whose primary caption identifies the named yard elements. The yard's piers and buildings connect this particular view to Boston's history of shipbuilding, repair and harbor work. They preserve a working waterfront at the time of the source.
The dock, shipways and pier connect different uses of the same yard, keeping the identified facilities within one Boston naval waterfront setting. A quiet evening, a book and a glass of water leave room for the view as part of a simple moment at home.
