Water Battery, Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
Before the day fills up, a warm cup and a seat at the kitchen table leave a little room to notice the picture. Waterfront cannon and the harbor beyond give Charlestown Navy Yard's Water Battery view a defensive setting distinct from its docks and shipways.
A stereograph published circa 1850-1920 shows a waterfront cannon battery with the harbor beyond. 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 battery connects the naval shore with defense of the harbor, keeping a particular waterfront installation within the yard's broader historical landscape. Give it a place near the tea or coffee, so the local view is ready for the cups that come around each day.
