View from the Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. 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. Set it on a desk or shelf where you can notice the view.
