Small-Boat Building at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
Pour a cup and take it over to the desk for a few quiet minutes. Small boats are being built in the Navy Yard's identified woodworking shop, giving the view an indoor workplace as well as a maritime subject.
The 1946 administrative-history source shows small boats being built in an identified yard shop. 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 shop connects Boston's naval waterfront with work carried out away from the piers, keeping boatbuilding's quieter shore facilities within the yard's history. Give it a place near the tea or coffee, so the local view is ready for the cups that come around each day.
