USS Nelson at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Die-Cut Sticker · White · 4 × 4 inches
An everyday notebook can carry a small picture on its cover. USS Nelson's missing stern is visible beside a Boston Navy Yard building and the water, with the repair scene tied to one identified ship.
The primary record associates June 12, 1944 with torpedo damage and states fleet return November 1944; missing stern alongside yard building and water. The yard's piers and buildings connect this particular view to Boston's history of shipbuilding, repair and harbor work. They preserve a working waterfront at the time of the source.
The view records damage and repair as a particular yard task, keeping the ship's documented return to the fleet within a sober local working history. Place it on a suitable smooth surface, or share the small view with someone interested in the place.
