History
The Boston Fish Pier was built in 1910 as part of the city's ambitious plan to modernize its fishing industry. At that time, it was one of the world's largest and most advanced piers. It quickly became a hub for local fishermen, who brought in their daily catch to be sold at the bustling fish market.
Over the years, the pier has survived multiple natural disasters, including fires and hurricanes, and has played an integral role in shaping Boston's seafood industry. Today, it is a testament to the city's rich maritime history.
