Charlestown Navy Yard, June 1940
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Die-Cut Sticker · White · 4 × 4 inches
A sticker can put a local detail on the notebook you already take along. Ships, piers and industrial buildings share the Charlestown Navy Yard aerial, giving the working shore a broader view than one vessel or dock.
The source records a June 1940 aerial of ships, piers, industrial buildings and working waterfront before full wartime expansion. 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 yard panorama connects the harbor with the shore facilities behind naval work, keeping a particular pre-expansion setting within Charlestown's waterfront history. It makes a small gift that can go onto an everyday item, with the subject's history there for someone who wants to ask.
