Boston Harbor

Hi!

I suppose when tourists or Bostonians visited Boston Harbor a couple of years ago they did not enjoy it at all. Nobody wants to spend any time at polluted water. However, this has finally changed due to the “Clean Act”. So when we visited the harbor last week, it was clean and nice. Everyone had a great time taking a round trip on a boat seeing a great city from another perspective. We were able to look at the entire city from the water having probably the best view imaginable.

The harbor looks nice. OK. But what does it contribute to Boston’s economy? The harbor is an important economical institution for Boston. The shipping industry is an important factor for Boston’s wealth and the labor force in general. However, it is not only the shipping business that the harbor offers to Boston’s economy. Furthermore the harbor is a famous place visited by tourists who spend a lot of money during this trip.

As we can see Boston Harbor is a nice and very important site for anyone who has a connection to Boston. There are even people who live on boats there.

See you in class!
