USS Arkansas at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches
There is room for a picture on the wall you pass on the way to the kitchen or a favorite chair. 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. It can bring this particular place to a room at home, with a small wall space enough to enjoy the picture.
