Charles River

The Charles River is a major river running through the New England Commonwealth in 2287. It separates Charlestown and Cambridge from the rest of Boston, and runs through many pre-War and post-War cities.

Background
The river is winding river running through the New England Commonwealth. The river stretches from the southeast corner of the Glowing Sea to Boston Harbor, where it then reaches the Atlantic Ocean. Near the river's mouth, the city of Cambridge and neighborhood of Charlestown in the north are divided from the rest of Boston in the south.

Prior to the Great War, the USS Riptide was in the process of hauling military equipment to an unknown location upstream. It lays there in 2287, occupied with raiders. The Commonwealth Coast Guard also had a detachment located along the river, which had just intercepted a shipment of smuggled chems when the bombs fell.

Appearances
The Charles River appears only in Fallout 4.
