Castle Island Fishing Pier
Bring a little South Boston home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
After the day's comings and goings, a few minutes at home can include looking a little more closely at the wall picture. The fishing pier, monument and harbor-side fort wall appear from an oblique Castle Island viewpoint, giving the shore a few smaller details beside the fort.
Ernst Halberstadt's May 30, 1973 photograph records Castle Island's fishing pier, the fort wall and the harbor beyond. People along the pier and industrial structures across the water share this view of the South Boston shore. Fort Independence's granite walls date to construction between 1834 and 1851, linking the waterfront scene with the island's earlier military history.
The pier and wall connect public use of the water's edge with the fort's larger presence, keeping a particular side of Castle Island in view. Choose the size for your wall, then frame the view to suit the room.
