Inundation District | Boston's Made Land
About the Episode
Did you know that Boston was once a peninsula connected by a thin stretch of land? Historian and author Nancy S. Seasholes walks through the history of the coastal capital from made land by landfill to why the city, especially its Seaport district, is vulnerable to sea levels rising and therefore, flooding.
