Shipways 2, Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little South Boston home.
Corkwood Coaster Set · Four pieces · 3.75 × 3.75 inches
Keep the coasters where the family gathers for tea, so a small picture is part of the table along with the cups. A crane, workers and slipway construction occupy the Shipways 2 scene at Boston Navy Yard, showing the making of a particular waterfront facility.
The navy record gives September 1941 completion; crane, construction workers and slipway works. 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 shipway connects shipbuilding with the shore structure built to support it, keeping workers and equipment within the yard's recorded construction setting. Use the set when friends come over, with a view under each drink and the local connection there to share.
