Charlestown Bridge is in the foreground, with one lone spectator observing the shipyard docks. Frederick Tudor, known as "The Ice King," combined two trades without much apparent connection (ice and sawdust) and by using the sawdust for insulation was able to create a shipping industry in New England that reached the far East and South America.
