All summer long, WBUR brought you stories of Boston Harbor, once the commercial and cultural center of the city.

We walked along the Greenway, trapped lobsters before sunrise, sailed with pre-teen girls, camped in an artist’s colony, followed a record-breaking swim and unearthed Nazis in the harbor. We tried to explain where the Harbor has been and where it’s going, to tell stories that illustrate our special connection to the waterfront.

As a look back, we’ve put together an audio slideshow of the most memorable images and sounds from the summer. And we’ve compiled a list of all stories in the series, if you need to catch up.
