Landing-Craft Production at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Books from the library and the day's small purchases can go along in this canvas tote. 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. Give it a place by the door for the next library visit or a few errands, with the picture carried among the day's essentials.
