Description: Long Wharf (Boston), located at 202 Atlantic Avenue at the base of State Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is a historic pier in Boston, Massachusetts built from 1710 to 1721, which once extended from State Street nearly a half-mile into Boston Harbor. Today, the much-shortened wharf – due to land fill on the city end – functions as a dock for passenger ferries and sightseeing boats. It is also the location of the Boston Marriott Long Wharf (left), the Gardiner Building (center, now a Chart House restaurant), the Custom House Block (right), and a viewing plaza at the end of the wharf (partial view on far right). Long Wharf was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
