121 Seaport Boulevard | Parcel L2 | Seaport Square

All of this shipwreck talk makes me wonder if a Boston museum focusing on seafaring would be viable? Fortpoint channel or East Boston could be good sites.
 
I wonder if they'll use any of the wood inside of the building as a nod to the historical site found below them. Im pretty sure PWC used wood or some type of material from some other important site- cant remember the details.

One of the honourable mentions announced at yesterday's Northern Ave Bridge competition announcements at the BSA Space included a proposal for a maritime museum.

I'm sure there's interest, but I wonder if a foundation or historical society could step up to draw from this proposal and actually make it happen.

Somewhat related, the Boston City Archaeologist mentioned that Skanska intended create a public display of some of the artifacts.

I just noticed this in one of BeeLine's latest images, but it looks like the parking garages between 101 Seaport and 121 Seaport will be connected? I didn't realize this, but it makes sense to connect them!
 
If anyone has ever been to MGH, in one of the buildings, there's a small viewing portal where you can see the original Boston seawall/stone wharf with a description something to the likes of this is the original location of the water's edge...etc. What's the possibility that they could do something like that here? It would be better than a plain concrete sub-level, that's for sure.

There were just a dozen or more smoky explosions from the boat excavation site (<5 mins ago) over the course of about 2 minutes.

Looks like they found the lime. Hope everyone there is ok....

You sure that's not the dedication ceremony for the "Fallen Heroes" Memorial?

PwC used reclaimed wood from Lovejoy.

BostonBaker --- there is a small problem with your premise -- there was no original waters' edge in the South Boston Seaport -- it was all either underwater or at best a mudflat at the Spring Tide Phase [Low water]

thanks for the pics beeline. Relative to your image below, is this process unique, starting with surface level steel and building down to a concrete foundation? It seems the positioning of the sunk vertical steel columns would have to be quite precise
