Pier 4 Condo Building (Former Anthony's site) | Seaport

I know a park is going at the end of the pier but any details on it? The rendering looks like a raised sort of pier thing? Please don't make it a tidal pool like at Fan Pier! Frankly, this would be a perfect spot for some sort of huge aquatic sculptural fountain, a cod or a lobster perhaps, spouting a stream of water into the harbor. Similar to Singapore's Merlion!

A lobster with life-like moving antennas that are streams of water.

Make it so.
 
^ I think it's part of the Peter Stuyvesant.
 
WOW!!! I'm sure no one has the foresight to actually want to clean some of this stuff up and incorporate it into their projects as art work.

Wow, great shot! Incredible that that (and who knows what else) has been down there this whole time....
 
That right there is a marine boiler for a steam ship! Awesome shot Beeline!

It would be cool to embed that in a planter on the Pier 4 plaza. Or whatever the best-looking part ends up being.
 
I'm surprised by how clean it looks.

Couple this with the wreckage discovered at the 121 Seaport Boulevard site and you have a very cool representation of different eras of Boston's maritime history.
 
^I think that is extremely likely. Hard to think of any other possible explanation, or any reason why it would NOT be from that ship.

What do you think .. the upper left cylinder ..with the studs protruding out? Pretty close I would say.

Globe: SS Stuyvesant, a casualty of the Blizzard of ’78, leaves its watery grave

Boston Globe said:
It’s a piece of Boston history — a 269-foot-long piece — and for decades it has been rotting at the bottom of Boston Harbor, a victim of the Blizzard of ’78.

Now the remains of the SS Peter Stuyvesant, a Hudson River cruise ship that found a second life as a glamorous bar and dining room attached to the former Anthony’s Pier 4 restaurant, are finally being removed from the harbor floor, part of an elaborate redevelopment of the site that will include offices, condominiums, and a park.

I was a bit confused by this part:

The excavation began in late January. The developer of the project, New York-based Tishman Speyer, declined to answer questions from the Globe or to provide additional details about the project, and workers at the site said they were not allowed to speak with the media.

Given how much good press Skanska got over the ship they unearthed at 121, why in the world would Tishman act like the FSB on this one?
