Charlestown navy yard historic resource study, vol 1
Year: 2010 Language: English Author: Carlson, Stephen Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 413 Description: The Charlestown Navy Yard is significant for its role in the construction, repair, and servicing of vessels of the United States Navy for the entire period of its existence from 1800 to 1974. It is also significant as the site of one of the first two naval dry docks in the United States, the location of the Navy’s only ropewalk, and for technical innovations such as die-lock chain. The yard evolved throughout its history to meet changing needs and naval technologies, and the current site contains resources from all periods of its existence. The yard also contains two of the landing sites for British forces involved in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Although much of the current acreage of the yard is filled land, there is a potential that portions of the yard may contain archeological resources related to Native American and colonial use of the area prior to its purchase by the federal government as well as those related to its use by the Navy. The yard is also associated with several historically significant naval officers, as well as with a number of individuals who are significant in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, and technology.
