Dry Dock, Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
The wall beside a favorite reading chair can hold a picture with details to look at closely, when you set down a book or pause between the day's tasks. 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. Frame it for a wall where you can enjoy this particular view.
