At various moments along the Boston Harborwalk, unused dock pilings can be seen penetrating the surface of the water. These pilings, located by Lewis Wharf in the North End, appear ghostly in a way, as if relics of a past civilization once part of everyday use. Structurally, the pilings bear a likeness to the Roman Forum's post and lintel structural system. The structures remain in in their respective landscapes (water/land) and stand resilient as lasting symbols of their cultures (sailing/ancient Rome).
