Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Die-Cut Sticker · White · 4 × 4 inches
A notebook travels from desk to bag and back again; its cover is a small place to keep a picture in sight. 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. Place it on a suitable smooth surface, or share the small view with someone interested in the place.
