Workers
from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Boston
Community Boating division on the Charles River backup a piggyback
trailer full of sailboats on this frigid winter afternoon, three days
before Christmas. The boats were recently plucked from the icy Charles
River where they were moored all season long and will now spend the
remainder of the winter in a garage carved into and under the McGrath
Highway overpass on Lower McGrath Highway in Somerville.The boats are
used during the spring and summer months for training sailing students
around the Boston and Cambridge river front.
