Significance: Constructed in 1942-43, Pier 3 is significant as an integral component of the Quincy-Fore River Shipyard facilities from the World War II period until the closing of the yard in 1984. Fitting out is the last phase of ship construction prior to sea trials and completes the work begun in the basins, slips, and fabrication areas. The pier's structure includes elements of traditional timber pile and earth fill construction methods and later steel pile marine engineering techniques.
