Charlestown Navy Yard from the Harbor
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. Dense piers and ships spread through the harbor-facing Charlestown Navy Yard aerial, giving the shore's working arrangement several details to return to.
The 1942 source records a harbor-facing aerial of main yard, ships and dense piers. 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 yard layout connects ships with their piers and shore buildings, keeping Boston's naval waterfront visible as a working place rather than vessels alone. Put it near a message you will check later, so the little view is there when you return to the kitchen.
