1 gen 1652 anni - 1652 Wooden Water Lines
Descrizione:
Necessity is often the mother of invention, and by 1650, Boston needed a way to combat house fires! In 1652, the City of Boston installed water lines to deliver water for firefighting and domestic use to the inhabited portions of the city. Water lines were often made from hollowed-out trees, and the tree’s natural shape often determined where the waterlines went!
