EDITORS COMMENTS
Boston Harbour, 1902: A Historical Hub of Activity and Innovation Discovered in 1614, Boston Harbour played a pivotal role in American history long before the United States gained its independence. By the year 1660, nearly all imports to the American colonies were funneled through this greater Boston area, making it a bustling hub of economic activity. The influx of people to the area was so significant that by the late 17th century, Boston had established itself as a thriving city, requiring the creation of the first-ever steam-powered sewage system to keep up with the growing population. As the 19th century approached, Boston Harbour continued to be a focal point of innovation. The famous Cunard Wharf, home to the historic pier where the RMS Titanic made its final stop before its tragic voyage, can be seen in this photograph taken in 1902. The harbour's strategic location and accessibility made it an essential gateway to the United States, connecting it to the wider world. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Boston Harbour and its enduring significance in American history. From its role as a major trading post to its status as a center of innovation, Boston Harbour remains an important part of the United States' past and present.
