This codfish, known as the “flying fish,” lives above the headquarters of Legal Seafoods just off Seafood Way in South Boston. An abstract piece designed and constructed by sculptor and lighting designer David Tonnesen, he is 28 feet tall and 45 feet long But the flying fish doesn’t just sit there he has a job to do. Although this is cleverly disguised, the codfish is also a scientific instrument that boaters can consult for information about wind speed and direction. His eight scales are “freewheeling rotors that move in response to prevailing currents of wind direction.” In essence, they combine the functions of an anemometer and a weathervane.

The Northern Avenue Bridge, also known as the Old Northern Avenue Bridge
The Northern Avenue Bridge, also known as the Old Northern Avenue Bridge, is a bridge that spans Fort Point Channel Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1908, it was closed to vehicle traffic in 1997 and operated as a pedestrian bridge until December 2014 when it was closed after inspectors found that thirteen floor beams were unsafe for pedestrians.[1] In an October 26, 2015 letter, the Coast Guard informed the City of Boston that the bridge was a ‘hazard to navigation’ due to the risk of it falling into the Fort Point Channel and requested removal of its most vulnerable portion.[2] The center span of the truss also carried a single track for the Union Freight Railroad, although it was designed for two tracks.[3] From 1912 to 1948, the bridge abutted a floating firehouse for Engine 44 of the Boston Fire Department.[4] Following its closure as a road bridge, various redevelopment schemes have been proposed for the bridge, as well as outright demolition of the span. In December 2019, city officials announced that the bridge would be rebuilt for use solely by pedestrians and bicyclists.[ Updated plans were announced in May 2020; design was expected to be finalized by the end of 2020 and construction to begin in 2021.[13] However, the project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resignation of Mayor Marty Walsh.[14]
