Boston - Long Wharf

Since its original construction in 1710, this wharf has been scaled back considerably. It was built to service ships that couldn't get closer to shore but today exists more as a reminder of bygone days. Restaurants and shops have replaced most of the former warehouses and industrial locations on the wharf. The 1837 Customs House still occupies the wharf's edge. A number of companies that offer boat cruises of the harbor have their headquarters here. There's also a shuttle-boat to the Charlestown Navy Yard.
