• Boston - View the Boston Skyline from Trinacria’s Perspective Settled in 1625, named after Boston Lincolnshire in England. We will pause for photo opportunities with the skyline in the background. - USS Constitution - Observe the USS Constitution (OLD Ironsides), a three-masted wooden-hulled heavy frigate of the United States Navy. It is the world’s oldest ship still afloat, launched in 1797 and built at Edmund Hartt’s shipyard in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, near the current Coast Guard base. Initially, it protected American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France (1798-1801) and defeated the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War (1801-1805). We will stop for photos with the ship in the background. - Bunker Hill Monument - View the Monument from the Harbor, from Trinacria’s perspective while cruising slowly by. The Bunker Hill Monument commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston, Massachusetts, one of the first major battles between the Red Coats and Patriots in the American Revolutionary War. We will pause for photo opportunities with the monument in the background. - Mystic River Reservation - Mystic River - The name “Mystic” comes from the Native American term “Missi-Tuk,” meaning “great tidal river.” The British landed on the banks of the Mystic during the Battle of Bunker Hill. It is home to the Encore Casino and was featured in the award-winning movie “Mystic River.” We will travel to where the river meets Boston Harbor. - USS Cassin Young - USS Cassin Young (DD-793), launched in 1943, is a Fletcher-class destroyer of the U.S. Navy named after Captain Cassin Young, who received the Medal of Honor for his heroism during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and was killed in action during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942. After serving in World War II, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa, the ship was decommissioned but reactivated during the Korean War, remaining in service until 1960. It is now preserved as a memorial ship. We will cruise by slowly and pause for photos. - Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge - Seen from the Harbor, the Zakim Bridge, completed in 2003, is named after Boston area leader and civil rights activist Leonard P. Zakim, who advocated for “building bridges between peoples.” We will pause for photo opportunities. - Charles River - Charles River - Named by English explorer John Smith in 1614 to honor Prince Charles (later King Charles). The Charles is famous for rowing and sculling, with many boathouses and the three-mile “Head of the Charles” Regatta, the world’s largest long-distance rowing regatta. Harvard University, Brandeis University, Boston University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are all located along its banks. We will travel to where the Charles meets Boston Harbor. - TD Garden - Seen from the Harbor, TD Boston Garden is home to the Boston Celtics, winners of 17 NBA Championships, and the Boston Bruins, winners of 6 Stanley Cups. - Charlestown Navy Yard - Seen from the Harbor, the Boston Navy Yard, originally called the Charlestown Navy Yard and later the Boston Naval Shipyard, was one of the oldest shipbuilding facilities in the United States Navy. Established in 1801 as part of the new U.S. Department of the Navy, it was decommissioned as a naval installation in 1974 after 175 years of service. We will travel adjacent to its docks. - Castle Island - Castle Island, built in 1632 and connected to the mainland in 1928, was the site of the internment of captured Native Americans sold into the Atlantic slave trade. The fort protected Boston from British attack during the War of 1812. Edgar Allan Poe’s Army service there inspired his short story “The Cask of Amontillado.” After the fort was destroyed in 1775, Lieutenant Paul Revere was tasked with rebuilding it, and it was renamed Fort Independence. The fort also served as a state prison. We will run along its shoreline. - Deer Island - Seen from the Harbor, Deer Island was named in 1634 as a refuge for deer escaping wolves on the mainland. It has been connected to the mainland since a hurricane in 1938. In 1896, it became a prison, with the Deer Island House of Correction operating until 1991. Now, it is the second-largest sewage treatment plant in the United States, serving the Boston area, generating its own electricity, and pelletizing waste for use as fertilizer. It will be visible in the distance on a clear day. - Nantucket Lightship/LV-112 - The Nantucket, commissioned in 1936 and stationed on Nantucket Shoals, was the last serving lightship. It is currently undergoing renovations as a floating museum but is open to the public. We will pass by closely. - Boston Light - Boston Light, located on Little Brewster Island in outer Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, was first built in 1716 and is the oldest lighthouse in what is now the United States. The current lighthouse, dating from 1783, is the second oldest working lighthouse in the U.S. and the only one still actively staffed by the United States Coast Guard, despite being automated in 1998. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. We will cruise from the inner harbor to Boston Light, weaving through the harbor islands. Fishing and hauling out lobster traps near Boston Light are optional activities. Let us know what would make your charter perfect for you. This attraction is for sightseeing purposes only.
