Charlestown Naval Shipyard
One of the reasons that I love the trolley bus tours is that you can get on and off as you like and see things in the order that you want to. For me, this meant the Naval Shipyard at Charlestown, where I took this panoramic shot (below) of the Boston skyline.
I don't know why I seem to always end up looking around boats; I don't even like water!

At the Charlestown Naval Yard are two ships that you can go and have a good shufti around. So I did.

I seem to be drawn to these things and I have no idea why. I have no naval history and I'm not a sailor. Go figure! It's probably a throwback to my youth reading war comics and stuff. Who knows. Nevertheless, it's something that you don't do every day and it's interesting as hell.
Back on dry land and it's the trolley bus back to Quincey Market and lunch at Houston's, by Fanueil Hall, then the on up to Beacon Hill for me!
