Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
While the tea brews, there is time to look at the picture beside your hand on the mug. Repeated landing-craft hulls form a Boston Navy Yard production line, letting the arrangement of boats show the scale of the work in the picture.
The 1942 source records production-line view of repeated landing-craft hulls and shipbuilding labor. 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 hulls connect a particular craft with repeated production, keeping shipbuilding labor and the organization of the waterfront within the Navy Yard's historical record. Use it at the kitchen table or carry the next cup over to the desk, keeping the view beside an ordinary break.
