[Sign:] The infamous "Hanging Judge Jeffries" was a local and a regular patron here.
It is said that he would enjoy his lunch on this balcony whilst watching the hangings at the place known as Execution Dock.
It was at Execution Dock that the famous pirate Captain Kidd met his end in 1701.
The noose below this point reminds us of this gruesome man who later died in the Tower of London.
The first on this spot was Queen Anne Boleyn, whose crime was her failure to produce a male heir for Henry VIII. Falsely accused of adultery, she was executed in 1536. Henry felt some remorse at her death, and hired a skilled swordsman from Calais, who sliced off her head with one blow.
Execution Dock was near the shoreline at Wapping and was used for over 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. Captain William Kidd is probably the most famous pirate to meet his death there in 1701. His corpse was put into a gibbet, a metal framed cage, and was left hanging at Tilbury Docks for 3 years. With the last execution in 1830, the exact location of Execution Dock is not known today but it’s claimed to be in the area where two pubs stand, the Prospect of Whitby and the Town of Ramsgate with the latter being the most likely. Round the back of the Prospect of Whitby there is a gallows with a noose hanging from it commemorating the location of Execution Dock.
From the exhibition catalog: "Hrair Sarkissian's series Execution Squares depicts public execution squares in three Syrian cities -- Aleppo, Lattakia, and Damascus. Taking in the early morning hours, the time the executions usually take plae, the quiet images reveal a fragile paradox that exists between the beauty and constancy of the physical environment and the political and social realities that they obscure."
(The installation consisted of 12 Lambada prints mounted on aluminum; work is dated 2008.)
We found a museum that had a bunch of old "video games". This was one of the many there. Sorry about the angle.
In light of the delay: David Motley, the city's PR-rep, made some last-second rescues before the excavator arrived. Many artifacts donated to the Historical Society include signage, hangars, garmet bags, copper panels from the turret, and Stacey Adams shoes that were still on the shelves.
Edouard Manet’s Execution of the Emperor Maximilian (1867) portrays the dramatic moment of Maximilian’s execution alongside generals Miguel Miramón and Tomás Mejía, ordered by Benito Juárez. Breaking convention, Manet depicted this contemporary political event on a monumental scale, usually reserved for mythological or historical scenes. The composition, inspired by Francisco Goya’s “Third of May 1808,” emphasizes the immediacy of the tragic event through dynamic and unresolved brushwork. This painting is the earliest version of several Manet created, reflecting his ideological opposition to Napoleon III’s intervention in Mexico. The painting was acquired by Frank Gair Macomber in 1909, likely upon Mary Cassatt’s recommendation, and gifted to the MFA in 1930.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.
On 15th August 1941 the German spy Josef Jakobs was blindfolded and placed in a chair and executed by firing squad.

Summers & Koontz Executions
On 22 May 1865, after the Civil War ended. Capt. George W. Summers, Sgt. I. Newton Koontz, and two other armed veterans of Co. D, 7th Virginia Cavalry, robbed six Federal
cavalrymen of their horses near Woodstock. The horses were returned the next day to the 192d Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Rude’s Hill. Despite assurances that all was forgiven, Lt. Col. Cyrus Hussy, temporarily commanding the 192nd, later ordered the men arrested. The others escaped, but Summers and Koontz were shot without trial here on 27 June. Thirty years later, Capt. Thomas J. Adams and friends erected the nearby monument to commemorate their deaths.
