Shipways 2, Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little South Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Keys, a book and the day's small essentials are ready by the door; this tote gives them a place to go along. 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. Keep it ready for small purchases and books, so this particular place comes along as part of a useful bag.
