View from the Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Before leaving for the library or a few errands, put a book and the day's small essentials into the tote, leaving the bag ready beside your keys by the door. 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. Take the tote along for books, small purchases and the day's essentials.
