Commercial Wharf from Pier 3
Bring a little Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Before leaving for the library or market, gather the things you want close at hand and leave a little room in the bag. 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. Keep it ready for small purchases and books, so this particular place comes along as part of a useful bag.
