The photographs in this exciting new volume illustrate the history
of the Charlestown Navy Yard from the late nineteenth century
through the twentieth century. Founded in 1800, the yard was one
of the first military shipyards in the United States.
Charlestown Navy Yard celebrates the life of the yard
through one hundred years of photographs, showing the
dramatic changes that took place during the transition from wood to
steel ships. Charlestown Navy Yard's history is preserved in these
images, which include rare views of buildings past and present and
snapshots of shipyard workers in the Ropewalk, on the ships, and in
the Forge Shop where die-lock chain was developed. Discover within
these pages little-known facts about the people who shaped the
shipyard's history and the ships that visited the yard, such as USS
Albany, as well as the two historic ships at the yard--the U.S.
Navy's oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution, and the World
War II destroyer, USS Cassin Young.
