USS Cassin Young DD-793, Boston Navy Yard, Boston, Massachusetts, United States
USS Cassin Young (DD-793), a fletcher-class destroyer, was a ship of the United States Navy named for Captain Cassin Young (1894--1942), who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism at Pearl Harbor and killed in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. Cassin Young (DD-793) was launched 12 September 1943 by Bethlehem Steel Corp., San Pedro, California; sponsored by Mrs. C. Young; and commissioned 31 December 1943, Commander E. T. Schrieber in command. After serving in World War II, including the Battle of Leyte and the Battle of Okinawa, Cassin Young continued in active service until 1960. She is preserved today as a memorial ship, berthed at Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, across from USS Constitution. Cassin Young arrived at Pearl Harbor 19 March 1944 to complete her training before sailing on to Manus, where she joined the massive Fast Carrier Task Force (then called TF 58, at other times called TF 38, depending on whether the overall organization was called 5th Fleet or 3rd Fleet). On 28 April, this force sortied for air attacks on Japanese strongholds at Truk, Woleai, Satawan, and Ponape, during which Cassin Young operated as picket ship, assigned to warn her group of possible enemy counterattack. She returned to Majuro, and then Pearl Harbor for further training before reporting to Eniwetok 11 June to join the screen of escort carriers assigned to covering duty in the invasion of Saipan 4 days later. In addition to radar picket and screening duty, she was also called upon for inshore fire support. As the battle for Saipan raged ashore, escort carriers of Cassin Young's group launched attacks on the island, as well as sorties to neutralize enemy air fields on Tinian, Rota, and Guam. Similar operations supporting the subsequent assaults on Tinian and Guam claimed the services of Cassin Young until 13 August, when she returned to Eniwetok to replenish. Between 29 August and 2 October 1944, Cassin Young guarded the carriers of Task Group 38.3 as strikes were flown from their decks to hit targets on Palau, Mindanao, and Luzon in support of the assault on the Palaus, stepping-stone to the Philippines. Only 4 days after her return from this mission to Ulithi, Cassin Young sailed on 6 October with the same force on duty in the accelerated schedule for the Philippines assault. First on the schedule were air strikes on Okinawa, Luzon, and Formosa; these led to the furious Formosa Air Battle of 10 to 13 October, during which the Japanese tried to destroy the carrier strength of the imposing TF 38. On 14 October, Reno was struck by a kamikaze, which wounded five of Cassin Young's men with machine gun fire. Cassin Young aided in shooting down several aircraft in this attack. On 18 October 1944, TF 38 took position east of Luzon to launch strikes immobilizing enemy air fields there in preparation for the assault on Leyte 2 days later. After standing by to render support if called upon during the initial landings, Cassin Young's group began to search for the enemy forces known to be moving toward Leyte Gulf on 23 October, and next day moved in toward San Bernardino Strait, ready to launch strikes. In the most vigorous and successful air attack mounted by the Japanese during the Leyte operation, at 09:38 on 24 October, an enemy bomb struck Princeton, and Cassin Young rejoined TG 38.3 for the dash northward to attack the Japanese Northern Force. This developed on 25 October into the Battle off Cape Engaño, a series of air strikes in which four Japanese carriers and a destroyer were sunk. Cassin Young continued operations in support of the Leyte conquest, as her carriers continued to range widely, striking at enemy bases on Okinawa, Formosa, and Luzon. With Ulithi as her base, the destroyer screened carriers through January 1945 as their aircraft pounded away at Formosa, Luzon, Camranh Bay, Hong Kong, Canton, and the Nansei Shoto in their support for the assault on Luzon. A brief overhaul at Ulithi prepared her for the operations supporting the invasion of Iwo Jima with air strikes on Honshū and Okinawa, the bombardment of Parece Vela, and screening off Iwo Jima itself during the initial assault on 19 February. Another brief respite at Ulithi preceded her deployment for the Okinawa operation, for which she sailed from Ulithi 22 March 1945. After screening heavy ships in the massive pre-invasion bombardment, Cassin Young moved inshore to support the activities of underwater demolition teams preparing the beaches. On invasion day itself, 1 April, the destroyer offered fire support in the assault areas, then took up radar picket duty. On 6 April, Cassin Young endured her first kamikaze attacks with which the Japanese gambled on defeating the Okinawa operation.

On, off job, victims were imposing presences
By Eric Moskowitz and Laura Crimaldi | GLOBE STAFF MARCH 27, 2014
Boston Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy was a square-jawed, 33-year-old Marine Corps veteran who saw combat in Iraq and a first responder who rushed to treat victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. He spent days off roaring down the road on his motorcycle and pushing himself and others to the limits as a Crossfit trainer.
Fire Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh Jr. had tried a career in finance, but his passion was for firefighting. Nine and a half years ago, Walsh became a Boston firefighter, following in the footsteps of his late father, a lieutenant in the Watertown Fire Department.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace Boston Ma United States
Faneuil Hall was founded in 1742 by Peter Faneuil as a central marketplace for crops and livestock in downtown Boston. At first there was opposition to the new marketplace from farmers who feared a competitive buyer's market would cut profits.
The famed Golden Grasshopper weathervane was placed atop Faneuil Hall in 1742. From this perch, the grasshopper has witnessed the remarkable growth of the city and over 260 years of American history in the making.
In 1761, a fire at Faneuil Hall damaged the grasshopper weathervane. Thomas Drowne, a blacksmith and the son of the grasshopper's creator, repaired the weathervane and inserted a time capsule in its stomach. The capsule, which is engraved Food for the Grasshopper, includes historical newspapers, coins, and messages from mayors that have been added as the grasshopper has been periodically refurbished.
As England attempted to impose taxes on the colonies, Faneuil Hall emerged as an important meeting place, hosting the Sons of Liberty as they resisted the taxes and debated the important issues of the day.

본격적으로 보스턴 여행을 하기위해 최고의 길잡이가 있다는 곳으로 향했다. 도착한 곳은 보스턴 시내 사이언스 박물관 앞. 이 차가 보스턴여행 길잡이라고 한다. 그런데 자세히 보니 차 모양이 특이하다! 자동차 같기도 하고, 배 같기도 하다. 일단 타 보자. “여러분께‘꽥 꽥’소리를 내라는 신호를 보내겠습니다. 제가 사용하는 신호는 하와이에 있는 물고기의 이름입니다. 바로 이거죠. 이 물고기의 이름은 ‘호모호모노보리누박’입니다. 왜 하와이에 있는 물고기가 여기 걸려 있냐고요? 제가 하와이에서 15년간 해상구조대로 활동했었기 때문이죠. 자 이제 제가 신호를 내리면 여러분은‘꽥 꽥‘소리를 내세요.“ 운전기사의 엉뚱한 이야기와 함께 출발하는 이 차는 2차 세계 대전 당시 노르망디 상륙작전에 이용했다는 수륙양용 자동차를 개조한 것이다. 보스턴 시내 명소 42곳을 둘러보는 이 차는 4월, 보스턴의 봄을 시작으로 11월, 겨울이 와서야 운행이 끝이 나는데 보스턴의 상징이자 자랑거리라고 한다. “호모호모노보리누박. 꽥꽥” ‘꽥꽥’하는 오리소리와 함께 찰스강으로 풍덩. 찰스강 수면 위를 부드럽게 달린다. MIT기숙사에서 보이는 찰스강의 멋진 풍경이 학업에 방해가 된다며 기숙사를 나가는 학생도 있다고 한다. 과장된 운전기사의 말이긴 하지만 보스턴의 역사와 함께 흘러온 찰스강의 아름다움은 자연 그 자체의 아름다움으로 다가온다.

In a city that is the home of the nation's top universities, we can start our list in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AKA MIT, located in Cambridge. this great institute features 168 acres of architectural buildings, statuary and the MIT Museum. One of the highlights of the MIT is the Stata Center, a complex known for its controversial design, built in 2004 and designed by the well-known architect Frank Gehry.

Archaeologists dig at Malcolm X home in Boston
(29 Mar 2016) Archeologists are digging at a boyhood home of Malcolm X in an effort to uncover more about the slain black rights activist's early life as well as the property's long history, which possibly includes Native American settlement.
The two-week archaeological dig began Tuesday outside a two-and-a-half story home in Boston's historically black Roxbury neighborhood that was built in 1874.
City Archaeologist Joseph Bagley said his office chose to dig up the site because it's likely that work will be needed soon to shore up the foundation of the vacant and run down structure.
This is kind of a now-or-never dig, he said. If we don't do this, the site will be destroyed. We can't afford to wait.
Among Tuesday's early finds was a large piece of fine porcelain that Bagley says was likely part of a dish set owned by the family of Malcolm X's sister, which still owns the house.
We're literally just scratching the surface, Bagley said as he and volunteers used a sifter to carefully pore over mounds of rubble on a side yard.
Bagley says once the initial rubble is cleared, a ground-penetrating radar survey will be used to determine the best locations to dig. Major excavation work is expected to dig up to four feet into the ground.
The site will be open to the public throughout to observe the work.
We don't actually go in looking for anything, Bagley says. It's more like we're looking for anything that might tell us something about the people that lived here.
Rodnell Collins, a nephew of Malcolm X who lived with him in the house, hopes the survey can raise public awareness of his family's deep roots in Boston. He's been working for years to renovate the dilapidated structure for public tours and other uses.
The former Malcolm Little was a teenager in the 1940s when he lived with his sister Ella Little-Collins and her family at 72 Dale St.
The house was designated a city landmark in 1998 because it's the only known dwelling from the outspoken activist's formative years in Boston still standing.
No physical move in my life has been more pivotal or profound in its repercussions, Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography about his time in Boston. All praise is due to Allah that I went to Boston when I did.
If I hadn't, I'd probably still be a brainwashed black Christian.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Little had bounced around from foster homes following his father's death and his mother's institutionalization for a nervous breakdown.
Little-Collins eventually became his legal guardian. But Little rebelled against family life and landed in a Boston prison for burglary charges in his early 20s.
There, he became a Nation of Islam follower and dropped his surname in favor of X'' to represent his family's lost African ancestral name.
A charismatic speaker, Malcolm X quickly became the Detroit-founded Nation of Islam's principal spokesman during its rapid rise in the 50s and 60s.
He founded temples and mosques up and down the eastern seaboard, promoting a message of black nationalism and denouncing white American culture.
Malcolm X's fiery rhetoric came in stark contrast to that of more non-violence-minded civil rights contemporaries like Martin Luther King, Jr.
But he eventually left the Nation of Islam, adopted a more conciliatory tone and converted to Sunni Islam before being gunned down by Nation of Islam adherents at a speech in New York City in 1965 at the age of 39.
