India Wharf

Imagine for a moment, that it’s 1855, and you’ve just ghosted your 3-masted square-rigger into Boston Harbor on a dying breeze and evening tide. You’re one of many ships, laden full with bounties of tea, coffee, spices, and fruit from the West Indies, the Orient, and the Mediterranean, who graced magnificent India Wharf. Yes, the world famous India Wharf, headquarters for all the Americas for trade from the Orient! As you look west toward land, you see its imposing Charles Bulfinch-designed building giving fair warning that it houses the world’s leading merchants — all who will pay fine wages for your wares and your bravery! And as the Wharf launch hails you, Captain, you know you will be treated to fine stay indeed. Yes, though condominiums and hotels now rise from the land, you can be sure that today, as captain of your vessel, you will be treated to the same hospitality at India Wharf as yesteryear – your vessel will be safely moored or docked, and your needs for food, drink and accommodation met in ways that could not even be imagined in 1855. So enjoy your stay Captain.
