Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches
The space beside a shelf can hold a view as well as the things you use. 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. Hang it where there is room for a local view, with the story there to share when someone asks about the subject.
