Squantum Naval Air Station at High Tide
Bring a little Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Before leaving the kitchen, check the week's list and the note about your next appointment, with the magnet's little picture sharing that well-used spot on the fridge. Tidal water spreads across Squantum's apron and aircraft area, giving the coastal air-station view a particular high-tide condition to notice.
The source records a February 25, 1944 flooding of apron and aircraft area. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.
The flooded apron connects aviation facilities with their coastal setting, keeping the tidal shoreline's effects within Squantum's historical air-station record. Put it near a message you will check later, so the little view is there when you return to the kitchen.
