Gate One, Charlestown Navy Yard

The Charlestown Navy Yard served the nation for 174 years as a base for the building, outfitting, repair, and modernization of ships. During World War II, its busiest years, almost 50,000 men and women worked here around the clock, seven days a week, as part of America’s massive war effort. The gatehouse was built in 1959, replacing the old Main Gate built in 1901.
