About Boston
Boston Massachusetts, a town in Suffolk County. The Boston Fish Pier, which opened in 1915, provides berthing space with shore-to-ship power for the region's fishermen, as well as seafood processing and office space in the East and West buildings. Although alternative uses have been introduced to the Fish Pier, fishing and fish processing remain the primary functions. The Massachusetts Port Authority is preserving this vital local industry, and maintaining a working waterfront that is significant to the state’s maritime heritage. Boston is home to 37 commercial lobstermen landing 852,767 pounds of lobster annually.
