Illustrated USS Braine at Boston Navy Yard in Charlestown on slate desk plaque

USS Braine at Boston Navy Yard

Bring a little Charlestown home.

Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches

Set down the pen and take a moment to look up from the desk. USS Braine and dock workers share the Boston Navy Yard scene, with the damaged destroyer's documented repair setting at the center of the view.

The 1946 source records an administrative-history photograph of a damaged destroyer and dock workers, following attacks identified by its primary caption. 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 ship and workers connect naval service with the work of the dock, keeping a sober record of repair within the yard's history. Keep the plaque on the desk where its picture can be noticed between a page of work and the next task.
