Boston Harbor is a natural harbor and estuary of Massachusetts Bay, and is located adjacent to the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is home to the Port of Boston, a major shipping facility in the northeastern United States.


Since its discovery to Europeans by John Smith in 1614,[2] Boston Harbor has been an important port in American history. It was the site of the Boston Tea Party as well as almost continuous backfilling of the harbor until the 19th century. By 1660 almost all imports came to the greater Boston area and the New England coast through the waters of Boston Harbor. More on Boston Harbor 

William Lentz Weiss lived in East Gloucester, MA and Philadelphia, PA. He was a member of the Salmagundi Club. In 1907 and 1924, he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1907, he exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago. More on William Lentz Weiss
