Castle Island, Boston
Bring a little South Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Keys, a book and the day's small essentials are ready by the door; this tote gives them a place to go along. 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. Keep it ready for small purchases and books, so this particular place comes along as part of a useful bag.
