Dry Dock, Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
Pour a glass of water and set it beside a book or a place at the table, leaving a few minutes for a quiet drink before the next task. Charlestown Navy Yard's dry dock is empty in this stereograph, with the basin itself rather than a vessel giving the picture its focus.
A stereograph published circa 1850-1920 shows empty basin; distinct operational state from occupied dock. 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 empty dock connects naval work with the structure that made maintenance possible, showing a working facility at a particular operational stage. Keep it ready for the next drink or a visit around the table.
