Aerial view of Boston, Massachusetts, with a focus on the Charles River as it cuts through the city
Bring a little Boston and Cambridge home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
Set down a drink and leave a little time for conversation. Open water and the banks of the Charles give Boston and Cambridge a shared view, with the managed basin behind the landscape's broad setting.
The Charles River Basin was shaped by the dam completed in 1910, which transformed a tidal estuary into a managed basin. Later Esplanade work in the 1930s and 1950s changed the banks again. The open water in this view belongs to a landscape made through successive public projects.
The basin connects open water with successive public engineering and park projects, keeping the river's familiar appearance tied to the work that shaped its banks. Keep it ready for water at the table or a drink with friends, giving the picture a place in an ordinary gathering.
