Tank Lighters at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
A quiet drink at home does not need an occasion; setting a glass on the table can be enough for a pause. Rails and hulls stand with the harbor beyond in the Boston Navy Yard tank-lighter scene, putting construction equipment and completed small craft together.
The navy caption identifies 50-foot LCM(3) tank lighters, completed August 1942; rails, hulls and harbor beyond. 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 tank lighters connect the waterfront with a particular kind of naval craft, keeping the yard's production work visible at the scale of its hulls and rails. Keep it ready for the next drink or a visit around the table.
