Boston Harbor and its outer reaches are defined by a complex network of fortified islands and coastal settlements at the height of the mid-century. This survey highlights the strategic and institutional character of the harbor, from the Long Island Hospital and Ft. Strong on Long Island to the House of Correction and Ft. Dawes on Deer Island. The landscape reflects a mix of maritime defense, public utility, and residential expansion, including the Sewage Disposal plant at Nut Island and the sprawling Logan International Airport near Winthrop.
