From Wikipedia
I came across Joseph Swift being superintending engineer at the Governors Island batteries at Boston Harbor. I had never heard of a Governors Island in Boston, but knew of the one in New York Harbor. I found out there was a Governors Island in Boston Harbor, but it essentially is no longer there.
According to Wikipedia, Governors Island was subsumed for the construction and extension of Boston's Logan International Airport. The island was the site of Fort Warren from 1808 to 1834 when the fort was renamed Fort Winthrop.
The island is buried in the area north and south of the airport's Runway 14/32.
