Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Before leaving the kitchen, check the week's list and the note about your next appointment, with the magnet's little picture sharing that well-used spot on the fridge. 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. Keep it beside the week's list, or give it as a small local detail for someone's kitchen.
