Christy Georg: progress and pic of Boston "maps"

In case you missed the premise:

Christy Georg's current work, Nautical Body, is inspired by the sea. She uses her exhaustive research of maritime history, culture and techniques, as well as her first-hand sailing experience, as inspiration for her artwork. During her Artist Residency, Christy will continue this theme by creating a large illustrative map that charts the evolution of the Boston Harbor from 1776 to the present. Furthermore, her map will incorporate personal stories with historical events, both of which will be given equal importance on her map.

I'm making a huge map of boston harbor. On it, I make...'thought bubbles' illustrating an event at a particular location. Some are historical disasters like the Molasses explosion, the Tea Party, etc. Some are contemporary histories, like where I learned to sail and say... where my buddy Steve caught his first or biggest lobster. Or where he lost one of his outboard motors, it fell off!

So maybe i have a drawing of a lobster maybe in a lobster pot, with a ruler and an oldschool ribbon banner saying "Steve's biggest catch!" Or an illustration of an outboard with a pic of Steve shrugging or throwing his hands up.

You get the idea? All past events have equal weight here, and I want to bring humor into it.

This shipyard built the fastest clipper ship to make the passage between New York and San Francisco, and held that record over 100 years until the 1980's! McKay also built the USS Constitution. The shipyard was on Border St. in East Boston
