Charlestown Navy Yard, June 1940
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Metal Art Sign · 7 × 5 inches
The space beside a shelf can hold a view as well as the things you use. 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. Keep it near the desk or entryway, or give it to someone with an interest in the place behind the picture.
