View from the Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
After setting out water for a visit, there is a little time to look at the picture on the glass. Ships stand beside shed-lined piers in the view from Charlestown Navy Yard, putting the waterfront buildings and their vessels within one shore scene.
A stereograph published circa 1850-1920 shows ships and shed-lined piers from the yard. 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 piers connect the yard's ships with the facilities alongside them, keeping a published view of Charlestown's naval shore within Boston Harbor's history. Keep it ready for water at the table or a drink with friends, giving the picture a place in an ordinary gathering.
