Boston’s link to the sea has always been an integral part of her heritage, economy and culture.  It is through the port of Boston that goods and ideas have flowed for centuries.  It is the same port that has been defended so fiercely and has inspired so many to stand up for their rights and liberties.

Did You Know?
Did you know that the financing for The Bunker Hill Monument was a hand-to-mouth project, culminating in a bake sale in 1840, three years before the dedication? By contrast, The Dorchester Heights Monument was financed by an appropriation from the Massachusetts Legislature amounting to $100,000.
