USS Arkansas at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
Pour a glass of water and set it beside a book or a place at the table, leaving a few minutes for a quiet drink before the next task. USS Arkansas returns to the Boston Navy Yard for refurbishment in the source view, giving maintenance work a particular vessel to focus on.
The primary caption describes return from European invasion service for refurbishment; record cataloged 1946. 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 battleship connects naval service with subsequent yard work, keeping refurbishment as part of Boston's recorded waterfront activity alongside construction and repair. Keep it ready for the next drink or a visit around the table.
