The U.S.S. Constitution usually sits well behind a floating barrier. But this week she moved up while work was done on her berth and I could paddle under the tip of her bowsprit. She's half-rigged as usual; maybe adding and subtracting rigging helps keep the crew busy. The brick Hoosac Stores building to her left will soon be demolished and replaced by a new visitor center for the frigate and the Boston navy yard overall. #Boston #Navy #tallship #harbor #harborwalk #NationalParkService image

Can floating homes make coastal communities resilient to climate risks? Building sustainable settlements on the water is a feasible option for climate adaptation, as long as people and ecosystems are protected. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02679-w "Climatopias can become technical solutions to a complex global challenge only if stricter planning processes, impact assessments, ecosystem protection and justice for communities are at the heart of any coastal future." #climatechange #climatecrisis image
Is there any prettier big steel tall ship than the Eagle? She's at the Boston Coast Guard base, offering free tours today until 7pm. This morning, cadets were getting lessons about climbing the masts and handling that intimidating rig. #Boston #USCG #harbor #tallship @npub1zgtw...c69a image
