South Boston Dry Dock Construction
Bring a little South Boston home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Between opening a book and making a few notes, a small display can give the eye somewhere else to go. A cofferdam and harbor-side works occupy South Boston's dry-dock construction overview, with the temporary engineering separating building activity from the water around it.
The source records a April 16, 1941 cofferdam and harbor-side construction overview. 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 cofferdam connects the making of a dry dock with control of harbor water, keeping a practical construction stage within the completed facility's history. It can sit among a few favorite books, giving the shelf a particular local subject as well as something to read.
