View from the Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
While the kettle heats and the cup is set out, there is a little time to sit at the kitchen table and notice the picture waiting beside your hand. 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. Use it for the next cup at the table or by your desk.
