Clear rocks glass showing Commercial Wharf and Aquarium waterfront buildings, stone seawall and harbor water artwork and Boston lettering

Commercial Wharf from Pier 3

Bring a little Boston home.

Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz

A quiet drink at home does not need an occasion; setting a glass on the table can be enough for a pause. The stone edge, basin and wharf buildings lead toward Commercial Wharf across Pier 3, giving Boston's harborfront a particular viewpoint across the water.

The 1973 source records stone edge, harbor basin and wharf buildings, location given by photographer. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.

The pier viewpoint connects Commercial Wharf's buildings with their harbor basin, keeping the water-facing relationship within Boston's changing waterfront record. It can be a useful gift for the table at home, with a particular place to talk about alongside the drink.
