This impres- sive pier, however, definitely stood out when it was created between 1711 and 1715. In fact, due to the changing nature of the Hub’s shoreline, Long Wharf was once even longer. In the colonial days, Boston’s shoreline began near where Faneuil Hall, an important commercial nexus, stands today. The waterfront was the life- blood of the young town, so piers were construct- ed to accommodate seafaring trade activity. Built by Captain Oliver Noyes and some associates to encourage more trade and extending about a third of a mile when completed, Long Wharf pro- truded into deep water, allowing for larger cargo ships to unload near the warehouses then lining Boston Harbor. It also had an additional attraction for the town fathers that approved its construc- tion—it initially had an array of guns placed on its end to help protect the harbor. Landfill projects over the years may have curtailed its length, yet Long Wharf’s extensive history has earned the structure National Historic Landmark status. It is home to another National Historic Landmark, the 1848 Custom House Block, as well as the circa 1760 Gardiner Building, which was the counting house of prominent merchant and Founding Father John Hancock. The brick edifice is now home to the Boston location of the Chart House restaurant. Today, Long Wharf is home to ferry and tour boats, a seasonal outdoor bar and a Marriott hotel. As Sail Boston 2017 (refer to listing, page 18) gets underway, Long Wharf should be one of many prime locations from which to view dozens of tall ships as they move into Boston Harbor, especially during the Grand Parade of Sail on June 17, as well as a great departure point for cruises offering up- close vantages of the vessels. —Scott Roberto ABOVE: 1898 REPRODUCTION OF A 1768 PRINT BY PAUL REVERE/COURTESY BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY BOSTONGUIDE.COM 5 SMOOTH SAILING Fans of the seagoing vessels of yesteryear have been patiently waiting since 2009 for the return of these mighty sailing ships to Boston. As of June 17, when Sail Boston 2017 (refer to listing, page 18) cruises into the Inner Harbor, the wait is over. Consisting of a flotilla of masted marvels, this event is an official stop of the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta, a 7,000-mile race that makes its way across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe and Bermuda before eventually moving to Canada and beyond on June 22. In the meantime, after the opening ceremony June 16 at noon at the Boston Harbor Hotel Rotunda on Rowes Wharf, visitors to Boston Harbor can glimpse an armada of barques, schooners, brigantines and more from all over the world with the Grand Parade of Sail on June 17 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Once the pageantry ends, public boarding of ships begins at 3 p.m. at Fish Pier, the World Trade Center, Fan Pier and Pier 1 and Pier 4 in Charlestown. WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT WITCHY WOMEN 6.5.17 With a name like Wicked (refer to listing, page 20), it’s no wonder that the Broadway blockbuster about how Oz witches and former friends Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, became bitter enemies has became a Boston favorite. Based on the book by Boston area resident Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the behind- the-scenes backstory of two of the principal figures inThe Wizard of Oz, pre-Dorothy and Toto. Packed with memorable tunes and dazzling special effects, including the show-stopping number “Defying Gravity,” this musical wonder touches down at the Boston Opera House beginning June 7. 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB BOTTOM PHOTO: JOAN MARCUS PRIDE ON THE MARCH The biggest LGBTQ celebration in New England, Boston Pride Week (refer to listing, page 18), continues this June with some of the event’s signature happenings. Highlights of the week, themed “Stronger Together” this year, include the Pride Lights ceremony honoring those lost to HIV/AIDS at the Boston Center for the Arts on June 6 at 6:30 p.m. and Pride Night @ Fenway Park on June 9, which features the Sox taking on the Tigers at 7:10 p.m. The grand finale takes place the weekend of June 10 & 11, beginning Saturday with the Pride Festival at City Hall Plaza from 11 a.m.–7 p.m. and continuing with the Boston Pride Parade (pictured) through the South End, Back Bay, Beacon Hill and Downtown starting at noon. After the parade, check out the Chandler Street Block Party (Berkeley and Chandler streets) from 1:30–7 p.m., which benefits the AIDS Action Committee. On Sunday, a rally takes place on Boston Common at noon, while block parties take place in the Back Bay (1–9 p.m.) and Jamaica Plain (1–8 p.m.), ending the festivities on a high note. ICE CREAM DREAM Eating ice cream for a good cause is something that should happen every day, yet as it stands, there’s really only one occasion each year when such a delicious dream can come to fruition. That time is June 6–8 when the Scooper Bowl (refer to listing, page 18) takes over City Hall Plaza from noon–8 p.m. This annual fund-raiser, now in its 35th year, is the brainchild of local cancer-fighting charity the Jimmy Fund, which has generated more than $5 million over the decades through this extravaganza of confectionery delight. This year’s participants include a host of New England creameries, all of which donate their time to bring smiles to the faces of frozen goodness fans. Also not to be missed is the accompanying entertainment, which includes live music to help you dance away all those calories. PARIS ON THE CHARLES The team behind two of Boston’s favorite seafood hot spots—Island Creek Oyster Bar and Row 34—recently set up shop across the Charles River when they debuted the French-accented Les Sablons (2 Bennett St., Cambridge, 617- 268-6800, lscambridge.com), artfully wedged into a narrow, two-story space in a historic building in Harvard Square. Given the pedigree, it’s no surprise that the menu doesn’t skimp on ocean offerings, from oysters to wild Alaskan salmon to roasted monkfish. Named for a Paris subway station, Les Sablons also features several Gallic-themed cocktails and such French delights as beef tartare and foie gras, although it borrows culinary influences from all over Europe. —Scott Roberto TOP PHOTO: MARILYN HUMPHRIES; BOTTOM PHOTO: SARAH STORRER BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 PANORAMA’s GUIDE TO OUTDOOR DINING Enjoy a meal along with lovely spring weather at some of the Hub’s best open-air patios, decks and courtyards BY SCOTT ROBERTO Legal Harborside Legal Sea Foods’ multi-level flagship overlooking Boston Harbor boasts three seaside dining decks along the Boston Harborwalk where diners can savor the freshest seafood straight off the boats of the nearby Boston Fish Pier.

  • Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph Mcmaster
    150 STANIFORD STREET, SUITE 7, BOSTON, MA 02114 Book Talk & Signing: Charles Street Jail by Joseph McMaster An Infamous History Revealed through Vintage Images FOR RELEASE: January 7, 2016 Boston, MA—On January 20 at 6:30 p.m., The West End Museum will host an evening with Joseph McMaster, author of Charles Street Jail, the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Images of America” series. McMaster will lead a discussion as well as read from and sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. The event is free and open to the public. Pre-register here. Told in pictures, Charles Street Jail features 200 stunning vintage images that reveal the institution’s infamous history. Always a paragon of architecture, the facility has been transformed into the luxurious and vibrant Liberty Hotel, which opened in 2007. It supplanted the Leverett Street Jail (1822-1851) and was replaced by the Nashua Street Jail (1990-present). McMaster is donating his proceeds from the book to The West End Museum. “I hope readers will appreciate the building’s rich and complex past,” said McMaster. “Long underappreciated, the Charles Street Jail was a fascinating crossroads of all kind of colorful characters and ideas of local and national importance. Just as the building has undergone a stunning historic preservation, I hope this book will help preserve some of the images and tales of this institution.” In nearly 150 years of continuous use, the Charles Street Jail in Boston’s West End had its share of notorious inmates, including Whitey Bulger, Malcolm X, Sacco and Venzetti, a captured German U-boat captain and then future Boston Mayor James Michael Curley.

  • 'I Want to Go to Jail': the Woman's Party
    102 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 Women against Wilson A National Woman’s Party demonstration against President Woodrow Wilson takes to the streets in Chicago in 1916 ahead of his upcoming visit during the presidential campaign. Amid the signs bluntly saying Wilson was “against women” is one that asks, “President Wilson How Long Do You Advise Us to Wait” for the right to vote. Source: Library of Congress. 103 “I Want to Go to Jail”: The Woman’s Party Reception for President Wilson in Boston, 1919 JAMES J. KENNEALLY Abstract: Agitation by the National Woman’s Party (NWP) was but one of several factors leading to the successful passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and woman suffrage. By turning to direct action, concentrating on a federal amendment, and courting jail sentences (unlike the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association), they obtained maximum publicity for their cause even when, as in Boston, their demonstration had little direct bearing on enfranchisement. Although historians have amply documented the NWP’s vigils and arrests before the White House, the history of the Massachusetts chapter of the NWP and the story of their demonstrations in Boston in 1919 has been mostly overlooked. This article gives these pioneering suffragists their recognition. Nationally, the only women to serve jail sentences on behalf of suffrage were the 168 activists arrested in the District of Columbia and the sixteen women arrested in Boston. Dr. James J. Kenneally, a Professor Emeritus and former Director of Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 45 (1), Winter 2017 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 104 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2017 the Martin Institute at Stonehill College, has written extensively on women’s history.1 * * * * * * * Alice Paul (1885–1977) and Lucy Burns (1879–1966) met in jail in 1909 in England.

MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.
