Granite, Shipbuilding & Aviation
GRANITE
Quincy was part of the developing granite industry for more than a century. Quincy is home to America's first commercial railway - the Granite Railway, built in 1826 specifically to transport Quincy granite to Charlestown for the construction of the Bunker Hill Monument. The remains of the Railway's incline are located at the end of Mullin Ave. in West Quincy.
SHIPBUILDING

USS Salem was launched on March 1947 and served as flagship of the sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and the Second Fleet in the Atlantic. She is now docked at the Quincy Fore River Shipyard, at one time one of the country's largest shipbuilding enterprises.
