Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
The cups are ready for tea, with coasters set out around the table and a little time to notice the pictures before everyone settles into a seat. 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. Keep the set beside the cups for tea or a visit with friends.
