About this map

Boston Harbor is dominated by a complex network of coastal defenses and maritime institutions during the mid-1940s. The outer islands are heavily fortified with military installations including Ft Warren on Georges Island, Ft Standish on Lovell Island, and Ft Strong on Long Island. These sites, along with the Maritime Radio Training Station on Gallups Island, underscore the strategic importance of the harbor's shipping channels like The Narrows and President Roads during the war years.
