It was once a part of Boston Harbor before dock extensions and fill eventually solidified its status as part of Boston’s North End. It has served as a shipyard, a station and hotel, a mill, a sugar refinery, and a cold storage warehouse before being turned into a parking lot.

The Harborwalk is a public-access walkway which wraps continuously along sections of the Boston shoreline.

Boston Harbor Cruises currently operates a shuttle that connects some of Boston’s waterfront attractions. There is an existing dock on the Sargent’s Wharf site.

The “Boston Soundscape” Museum is inspired by the history, culture and the everyday experience of living within the Boston Area. The concept of the museum originates from the form of a soundwave. The museum is to mimic in form and in circulation the fluctuations of sound as you travel from the lively Boston cityscape to the water edge of the calm Boston harbor. Exhibit 01: Transportation
