Fort Point Channel
Fort Point Channel
is a
maritime channel
separating
South Boston
from
downtown
Boston, Massachusetts
, feeding into
Boston Harbor
. The south part of it has been gradually filled in for use by the
South Bay
rail yard
and several
highways
(specifically the
Central Artery
and the
Southeast Expressway
). At its south end, the channel once widened into
South Bay
, from which the Roxbury Canal continued southwest where the
Massachusetts Avenue
Connector is now. The
Boston Tea Party
occurred at its northern end. The channel is surrounded by the
Fort Point
neighborhood, which is also named after the same colonial-era fort.
