About this Event
Please join Mike Manning of the Friends of the Boston Harborwalk (FBHW) for a walking tour of the North End, the new William Felton “Bill” Russell Memorial Bridge, and the Charlestown Navy Yard. The tour will begin at the bocce courts located at 423 Commercial Street in Boston's North End and end at the USS Constitution Museum in the Charlestown Navy Yard. The bocce courts are located between Langone and Puopolo parks.
We'll tour the North End and visit the following sites: Edmund Hartt shipyard (1794), the Great Molasses Flood (1919), the Draft Riot of 1863 (on Prince Street), and the Brink's Robbery (1950) also on Prince Street. The tour will end at approximately 12:15 PM at the USS Constitution Museum.
Nearest T stop is North Station (nearest to the North End). Once in the Navy Yard, return-to-Boston options include the MBTA’s Charlestown-to-Long Wharf water ferry. The ferry departs from Pier 4 in the Navy Yard every thirty (30) minutes. The cross-harbor trip from Charlestown to Long Wharf is approximately ten (10) minutes.
The Friends of the Boston Harborwalk is an all-volunteer group affiliated with Boston Harbor Now (BHN). The group meets monthly to promote awareness, public enjoyment and local stewardship of Boston’s 43-mile Harborwalk.
