BOSTON, MA

History of Battery Wharf

The Battery Wharf Maritime Museum and accompanying outdoor interpretive signage program tells Boston’s history using the living artifact of its location. The stories span 350 years of Boston’s history and are the stories of sailors, soldiers, bakers, lighthouse keepers, ferryboat captains and shipbuilders.

Lighting was strategically used to create drama within the space using moving wave imagery. The large iconic 37’ live oak timber anchored the exhibit and provided seating for the multi-use space.

The outdoor Harbor Walk panels have been called “the most beautiful and informative signage on Boston’s Waterfront”
