This crammed-in entrance is to a structure at the Brooklin Boat Yard. The shed is thought to have been part of a sardine and clam canning company that was there in the very early 1900s. It’s now a BBY storage shed for small vessels and related gear. Small boats stored in the shed are stacked three-high under hanging masts and amid piles of buoys and other marine paraphernalia:

The shed is long and narrow, with a sliding door on this shore-side end and gaited access to Center Harbor’s waters at the other for launching the boats.
