Hull Gut, Natural channel in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts.
Hull Gut stretches between Pemberton Point and Peddocks Island as a deep-water channel measuring half a mile wide and thirty-five feet deep.
In 1909, fourteen-year-old Rosie Pitenhof made history by swimming across Hull Gut from Peddocks Island to Pemberton shore and back in twenty-two minutes.
The waterway maintains a central role in Boston Harbor's maritime activities, supporting industrial transportation and connecting the Inner Harbor to Hingham Bay.
The channel experiences strong cross-currents and heavy maritime traffic, requiring careful navigation for vessels traveling through Boston Harbor's southern entrance.
Oil tankers and freighters regularly traverse Hull Gut to reach industrial facilities along the Weymouth Fore River in Braintree, Weymouth, and Quincy.
