HISTORIX Vintage 1722 Boston Massachusetts and 50 similar items

Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the most iconic American cities, and its rich history dates back to 1635 when it was founded. It boasted not only the vast harbor and port but was also the most populated city until the mid 18th century. The local economy soared amid the shipping and fishing boom, especially in the 1720s, when this map was produced and published. Interestingly this piece of cartographical history contains records of significant fires in the cities history, as well as a notation regarding the smallpox outbreak of 1721, which was the sixth to surge through the city. This was a lively era for Boston, and any fan of American history will understand the importance of the city as the colonies began the long journey that would culminate in the American Revolution. Known for its revolutionary spirit Boston became known for its role as a central point for much of the organizing of American freedom activists. This map transports the viewer back to the time of the great sailing vessels, fully rigged and returning to Boston harbor. The harbor and coastline, in general, have always shaped the cities culture, and it has been a deep part of American Maritime history since its discovery in 1614. Geographically sheltered to the south by Cape Cod, the harbor enjoys a respite from open Atlantic swells and allowed safe passage for exports to Europe. The history of Boston in one of its most defining periods is summed up by this depiction, which shows the progress the city made in less than 100 years.
