Charlestown Navy Yard from the Harbor
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Between opening a book and making a few notes, a small display can give the eye somewhere else to go. 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. Keep the plaque on the desk where its picture can be noticed between a page of work and the next task.
