	Boston Navy Yard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boston Navy Yard, originally called the Charlestown Navy Yard and after 1945 called Boston Naval Shipyard, was one of the oldest shipbuilding facilities of the United States Navy.
		It was officially closed 1 July 1974 and transferred to the National Park Service to be part of Boston National Historical Park, enough of the yard remaining in operation to support the USS Constitution.
		The land for the Charlestown Navy Yard was purchased in 1801 and the yard itself established shortly thereafter.

	Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (NSY)
		The shipyard itself is on an island in Kittery, Maine, across from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, near the mouth of the Piscataqua River.
		However, it was not until 1800 that a permanent shipyard devoted exclusively to the construction and repair of vessels for the United States Navy was established at the mouth of the Piscataqua.
		Prior to this decision all American naval vessels had been built in private shipyards, but the private shipyards of the era were too small, lacking both the dockage and warehousing space, for the task of building this new class of frigate.

	Dry Dock No. 1, Charlestown Navy Yard
		Dry Dock 1 is a key contributing feature of the Boston Naval Shipyard, designated as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior in Nov. 1966.
		Southard had consulted with the Board of Naval Commissioners, which had recommended two docks, one in "the eastern section of the Union [i.e., the Northeast], and the other in the waters of the Chesapeake." Southard thus proposed construction of two docks, at the navy yards at Charlestown and Gosport.
		The state of the work was such that the Naval Commissioners decided in Dec. 1832 to transfer Alexander Parris to a new project, the naval hospital to be built across the Mystic River in Chelsea, Mass.

		Both respondents were at all material times civilian employees at the Boston Naval Shipyard, and for several years before September 8, 1955, the Association was recognized by the shipyard as an employees' representative group.
		The District Court granted summary judgment for petitioner, holding that the uncontradicted affidavits conclusively showed that the statement complained of was published by petitioner "in the discharge of his official duties and in relation to matters committed to him for determination," and that it was therefore absolutely privileged.
		The short explanation is that the Captain thought that since the plaintiffs had attacked the administration of the shipyard by sending copies of their newsletters and charges to Congress, he should send Congress his side of the story.

		It contained the first naval dry dock in New England, pioneered the construction of ship houses that allowed vessels to be built in any weather, developed the die-lock chain, and manufactured all of the Navy's rope for over a century and a half.

		The SHPO believed this latter work would have a positive impact on the historic character of the Shipyard, one that would mitigate the impact of increased heights proposed in the guidelines for the 50-acre parcel.
