This is a late 60's image featuring a great illustration of a sailor and child alongside the classic American battleship in Boston. The Boston Navy Yard, originally called Charlestown Navy Yard and later Boston Naval Shipyard was one of the oldest shipbuilding facilities in the United Sates Navy established in 1801. It was officially closed as an active naval installation on july 1, 1974, and the 30 acre property was transferred to the National Park Service to be part of Boston National Historic al Park. Enough of the yard remains in operation to support the USS Constitution. The USS Cassin Young, a World War II era destroyer serving as a museum ship is also berthed here, and there is also a dock which serves the MBTA boat.
