Water Battery, Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Die-Cut Sticker · White · 4 × 4 inches
Pick up the notebook or smooth case that goes from desk to bag through the day, with the sticker's small picture attached to something already part of the routine. 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. Place it on a suitable smooth surface, or share the small view with someone interested in the place.
