Hingham Shipyard Construction
Bring a little Hingham home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
A coaster beside the reading chair is ready for the next cup. Land preparation and the water's edge define Hingham Shipyard's construction aerial, showing the shore before a completed shipbuilding operation fills the view.
The source records a April 17, 1942 construction-progress aerial of the new wartime shipyard; land preparation and the water edge are the story. Wharves and shore facilities connected this part of Hingham with harbor transport and work. The image preserves one stage of that relationship, with its source date distinct from the age of the structures.
The construction stage connects Hingham's waterfront with the making of a wartime workplace, keeping the preparation of the shore within the shipyard's recorded story. Keep them ready for tea, or give the set for the next gathering around someone's table.
