Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier

Set aside a few minutes for a list or some reading notes, with the journal open and a pen ready beside the book you have been reading. 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. Use it for notes at home or away, with the local picture on the cover.
