Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
On the way to a favorite chair, there is time to notice the picture on the wall. 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. Choose a wall where you will see the picture during the day, letting the local view become part of the room's ordinary surroundings.
