About this map

The Massachusetts coastline near the turn of the century reveals a landscape defined by maritime industry and burgeoning leisure travel. Dense urban clusters in Lynn and Peabody are balanced by the preserved wilds of Lynn Woods, while the intricate shoreline of Boston Harbor is dotted with strategic navigational and military installations. Maritime safety is anchored by landmarks like Egg Rock L.H., Boston L.H., and the Boston L.S. lightship stationed offshore.
