About this Event
How has Boston’s waterfront changed? What types of commerce continues? What challenges do we face along the waterfront?
Please join the Friends of the Boston Harborwalk (FBHW) for an approximate two and a half tour of Boston Harbor tour narrated by the FBHW team. The multi-deck heated-vessel will travel around the inner harbor passing by all of Boston's eight Harborwalk neighborhoods. The FBHW team will discuss the history of the city, its harbor, and how much the waterfront neighborhoods and the harbor continue to evolve – nearly 400 years after the city’s founding.
The tour will depart from and return to Long Wharf on a Boston Harbor City Cruises' marine vessel. We will begin boarding at 9:45 AM and will depart at 10:00 AM (sharp) - returning at approximately 12:15 PM. Specific dock location and boarding information will be sent out days prior to the tour.
The vessel has restrooms and heated lower decks. Beverages and snacks are available for purchase. Dress extra warmly if you would like to be outside on deck; it is very cold and windy on the harbor in the winter!
The $30 fee supports the work of the Friends and allows for a gratuity to the crew.
The nearest MBTA stop to Long Wharf is the Blue Line Aquarium Station.
The Friends of the Boston Harborwalk is a volunteer group affiliated with Boston Harbor Now. The group meets monthly to promote awareness, public enjoyment and local stewardship of Boston’s 43-mile Harborwalk.
