Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



northern edge of the pier for boat tie-up 

 is considered impracticable on a day to 

 day basis. The proponents have also given 

 thought to using this narrow watersheet 

 as a temporary dock for the small Tall 

 Ships when they visit Boston Harbor. Such 

 a use would be limited to small Tall 

 Ships for several reasons. Tall Ships are 

 usually square-rigged vessels and their 

 spars extend far beyond the sides of the 

 ship. Given that the pier building is 20 

 feet back from the water's edge, there 

 are dangers involved if a large square 

 rigged vessel is tied to the eastern edge 

 of the pier. There is also the 

 possibility of eliminating access to the 

 marina if a beamy ship is docked at Tudor 

 Wharf. If and when Tall Ships arrive in 

 Boston, the proponents of Tudor Wharf 

 would welcome the initiation of 

 discussions between the ships' agents, 

 the adjacent marina and Tudor Wharf to - 

 provide dockage for Tall Ships on a case 

 by case basis.
