Boston Harbor

Boston Harbor

Boston Harbor is a harbor located in Massachusetts Bay, Boston. The Boston Tea Party took place here in 1773.

In 2012, it was used as a simulated location by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch, in order to influence the general public, as part of the console stage of the Animus technology.

The simulation depicted part of the actual harbor and its surrounding area, consisting of busy streets and high rooftops, interspersed with an occasional clearing. The harbor itself was filled with various good and wares, neatly stacked on top of one another, as well as market stalls. Some stalls had also been set up farther into the residential area, near one of the town's churches. 

With the implementation of new technology, simulated locations in the console stage were upgraded to have multiple aesthetic variations. Because of this, the Boston Harbor could be utilized during the day, the night, or amidst snowfall.

In 2020, the Assassin Rebecca Crane told Layla Hassan that a ship would be in the Harbor within a day. From there, it would take her to Hordaland, Norway to slow down the Yggdrasil device that had been keeping the global aurora on ever since it prevented the Second Disaster in 2012.
