Boston Harbor or Zone 17 is a district of Boston in Fallout 4.
Background[edit]
Previously a hub for container vessels as long ago as 1887, Boston Harbor has a rich history. Home to the Custom House Tower from the 1900s and the Shamrock Taphouse established in 1787, Boston Harbor is now home to Mirelurks, Super Mutants, and raiders.[1] It is also home to a pre-War Chinese nuclear submarine, the Yangtze, described by locals as a sea monster.
Layout[edit]
Bordering the North End, Financial District, Theater District, and South Boston, the harbor is the start of the Charles River.

“
Just as the Charles River empties out into the Massachusetts Bay, so, too, did container vessels from across the Old World, about 400 years ago. Now the harbor is in serious need of dredging, with a variety of rusty hulks and rotting boats scattered about this waterway. Home to Mirelurks, pockets of Super Mutants and Raiders, and the odd roving Scavenger, Boston Harbor offers views out to the east, toward the airport. Head north to Charleston, west into the Theater District, and south toward Quincy and South Boston. Though there are few primary locations, this has the distinction of being among the most dangerous of neighborhoods, as the ground is sometimes soggy and the inhabitants never friendly. Also, did you hear tales of the sea monster lurking in the bay?”— Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map
