Tom, this is a very nice capture of the museum (Griffin's wharf) with the tea party ships 'Eleanor' and 'the Beaver' surrounded by modern architecture.

A great harbor shot Tom - love the juxtaposition of the very modern glass towers and the older dock.

I did not know the names of the ships Cornelius , you know your history here and thank you. Now that I viewed it here I see the slant of the building. My older Rebel does fine in the country but has reached its limits in the city which is much less forgiving , time to upgrade.

I agree with Kathy, the contrasts of modern and old make for a fine image. tigs=^..^=

What a clear image. Is this the spot where it happened? Love the skyline.

I do not know exactly where it happened Pat but I doubt this is the very spot because much of the land was reclaimed over the years , filled in , like back bay which was once marshes and the customs house photo I posted was once almost waterfront.

Great harbor shot! Like the variety of architecture. I imagine that a lot of historical spots can't be pinpointed after the passage of time, but this does give us an idea of how things have changed.
