WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
Docking at Commonwealth Pier opposite the fishing pier (T wharf) with assist of Boston Towboat tugs. The tragedy of this slide was it was Ektachrome and did not age well. In trying to restore it I see lots of detail lost.
Scan from Ektachrome slide, color corrected, photographer unknown (possibly my dad, Earle G. Boyd).
