History
Boston Harbor has been a working port since colonial times, evolving from wooden shipyards and international trade to a modern mixed-use waterfront with preserved maritime sites.
Conservation
The harbor has undergone major cleanup since the 1970s; visitors are asked not to feed wildlife, to respect protected areas, and to minimize single-use plastics.
