Dry Dock 5 and Constitution Pier
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
A few errands start with reaching for the bag by the door. 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. It can be a practical gift that takes the local view along, with room for a book and the ordinary things needed for an errand.
