About the model
Already the seventeenth building of my New England series. The building is located in Boston, at the Charlestown dockyards. I really wanted to do a building from the many docks Boston has.

This model has about 3419 tris and I managed to cramp it on a 1536x512 texture , with a diffuse, normal, illumination, and specularmap.This model has a custom LoD, which is about 56 tris with a 384x128 texture, with a diffuse, specular and illumination map.

RICO
This building is RICO enabled. It will provide 20 workers as a industrial building. I recommend using the realistic population mod, this will calculate the amount of occupants in the building.

About the building
The earliest naval shipbuilding activities in Charlestown, Massachusetts across the Charles River and Boston harbor to the north from the city of Boston, began during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). The land for the Charlestown Navy Yard was purchased by the United States government in 1800 and the yard itself established shortly thereafter. The yard built the first U.S. ship of the line, "USS Independence", but was primarily a repair and storage facility until the 1890s, when it started to build steel ships for the "New Navy". By then, it was called the Boston Navy Yard.

On 24 June 1833, the staff and dignitaries including then Vice President Martin Van Buren, Secretary of War Lewis Cass, Secretary of the Navy Levi Woodbury, and many Massachusetts officials, witnessed "one of the great events of American naval history": the early United States frigate Constitution was inaugurating the first naval drydock in New England designed by prominent civil engineer Loammi Baldwin, Jr.

The ropewalk supplied cordage used in the Navy from the time it opened in 1837 until the Yard closed in 1975. After the Civil War (1861-1865), the Yard was downgraded to an Equipment and Recruit Facility.

In the late 1880s and 1890s, the Navy began expanding again bringing into service new modern steel hulled steam-powered warships and that brought new life to the Yard. In the first years of the 20th century, a second drydock was added. During World War II (1939/1941-1945), it worked to fix British Royal Navy warships and merchant transports damaged by the Nazi Germans when crossing the North Atlantic Ocean. On 27 September 1941—Liberty Fleet Day—Boston launched two destroyers, the USS Cowie and the USS Knight. Even before the U.S. entered the Second World War after the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7th, 1941, a month before in November, Boston was one of four United States naval shipyards selected to build Captain class frigates under the Lend-Lease military assistance program for the Royal Navy. Since the United States was at war when these ships were finally completed, some were later requisitioned and used by the United States Navy as destroyer escorts. In the post war period, the shipyard modified World War II ships for Cold War (1945-1991) service through Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM). The Korean War (1950-1953), and Vietnam War (1964-1975) did not bring much work to the Yard since it was so far from the fighting
