South Boston Navy Yard Annex
Bring a little South Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. The South Boston Navy Yard annex is seen from the east, with piers and city waterfront giving the coastal site a wider setting from above.
The source records a October 8, 1941 coastal annex, piers and city waterfront. The naval waterfront brought construction, maintenance and transport together beside the harbor. This particular view records the practical shore facilities that supported that work at the time of the source.
The annex connects a naval construction site with Boston's existing harborfront, keeping the relationship between the new facilities and the city shore within this directional view. It makes a small gift that can find a place beside an ordinary household list.
