  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This is a photo of the Rowes Wharf building in Boston, Massachusetts. Rowes Wharf sits on the waterfront of Boston Main Channel. The front and rear of the building are open allowing the sea breeze to freely flow through.

On this particular visit, I was lucky that an American flag was hung which made for a stunning shot at night with the breeze. Sometimes there are advertisement banners or nothing at all hanging.

Photography Tips

This photo was taken with a Nikon D7200 with the following details/settings:
Lens: Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/20 sec.
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 1250
Focal Length: 8mm on a Nikon crop sensor (so about 12mm full frame)

To photograph the dome you need a very wide lens. Additionally, I was sitting/squatting nearly to the point of laying on my back. I shot this hand-held. At night you'll need to crank up the ISO so the shutter speed isn't too low (if you want to stop the motion).

Hello alfa bravo. Thank you for reaching out regarding the location. I can 100% assure you the description and location are accurate. Also, please take a look at the behinds the scene photo. I've been a couple times - there is no guarantee the American flag will be flying. Other banners may exist. I would STRONGLY recommend to check out the view of the harbor from Fan Pier Park. I have a nice photo on my page for reference: https://www.locationscout.net/usa/8898-massachusetts-boston/17741 Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful and safe trip!
