White square coaster showing Boston Harbor waterfront scene with sailing ships artwork and Boston lettering

Boston Harbor

Bring a little Boston home.

Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches

A coaster beside the reading chair is ready for the next cup. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share Pierre Ozanne's Boston Harbor drawing, giving the water scene several distinct maritime details to notice.

Pierre Ozanne's 1778 drawing records Boston Harbor before the nineteenth-century expansion of the waterfront. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share the scene. Its French inscription associates the view with Admiral d’Estaing's American campaign, preserving a particular moment in the harbor's maritime history without identifying every vessel.

The drawing connects Boston's waterfront with d’Estaing's campaign through its inscription, keeping the historical association clear while individual vessel names remain unassigned. Put them where the kettle's cups are usually gathered, so the view has a place in the ordinary routine of tea at home.
