Castle Island, Boston
Bring a little South Boston home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
While the kettle heats and the cup is set out, there is a little time to sit at the kitchen table and notice the picture waiting beside your hand. Castle Island's pentagonal fort, causeway and fishing pier appear together from above, giving defense, access and recreation space within one harbor setting.
The 1946 source records aerial of pentagonal fort, causeway, fishing pier and surrounding harbor. The naval waterfront brought construction, maintenance and transport together beside the harbor. This particular view records the practical shore facilities that supported that work at the time of the source.
The aerial connects Fort Independence with the island's surrounding routes and pier, keeping a broader Castle Island landscape around the recognizable fort. Use it for the next cup at the table or by your desk.
