Small-Boat Building at Boston Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown 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. 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. Keep it by the door for books and errands, or give it for someone's everyday trips.
