Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Keep a picture beside the day's work, somewhere you can see it without leaving the desk. Constitution Pier and Building 104 appear with Dry Dock 5 in this opposite-side yard view, giving the named facilities a different local relationship.
The 1946 source records a compilation view from the opposite side, with Constitution pier identified by the source. 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.
Pier, building and dock connect the yard's structures with their waterfront setting, keeping the source's identified elements together without assigning a different dry dock. Keep the plaque on the desk where its picture can be noticed between a page of work and the next task.
