Water Battery, Charlestown Navy Yard
Bring a little Charlestown home.
Matte Hardcover Journal · 150 lined pages · 5.71 × 8.07 inches
Set aside a few minutes for a list or some reading notes, with the journal open and a pen ready beside the book you have been reading. 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 with a pen for the next page of plans, or keep it ready for your own everyday writing.
