Long Wharf

Long Wharf is a historic pier located in downtown Boston. Initially constructed in the early 18th century, Long Wharf has played a pivotal role in Boston's maritime history and economic development. Originally built to accommodate the growing shipping trade, the wharf quickly became one of the busiest commercial hubs in colonial America. Today, Long Wharf has been transformed into a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a mix of recreational, cultural, and commercial attractions. The wharf is home to several notable landmarks, including the New England Aquarium, which attracts visitors with its marine exhibits and educational programs. Additionally, Long Wharf provides ferry services to destinations such as Charlestown, Salem, and the Boston Harbor Islands.

A good starting point to explore the city from land or water. Several boats depart from here for guided tours

Perfect way to get to Schkendern by the water. I was lucky with the weather and was able to really enjoy the walk. On the other side of the river you can see the three museum ships.
