Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Before leaving for the library or market, gather the things you want close at hand and leave a little room in the bag. 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 ready for small purchases and books, so this particular place comes along as part of a useful bag.
