1919 Boston Molasses Tank
A towering, rust-streaked steel molasses tank looms over Boston’s North End in 1919, its riveted seams straining. The surrounding cobblestone streets are lined with brick tenements and wooden storefronts. Workers in wool newsboy caps and suspenders shovel coal nearby, breath visible in the cold January air. A horse-drawn cart loaded with barrels pauses beneath the tank, its driver in a heavy overcoat shouting to a woman in a long skirt and shawl carrying groceries. Overcast skies cast a gray-blue pallor, with faint steam rising from factory chimneys. The scene is tense, textured with peeling paint, icy puddles, and the ominous creak of metal.
