As "a major force in the metamorphosis of the Boston waterfront,"[9] Hynes negotiated the land swap deal that brought about the current Our Lady of Good Voyage Shrine and the Seaport Square.[1][2][7] His Seaport District land deal in 2006, worth more than $200 million, was by far the most expensive in Boston history.[10]
^Our Lady of Good Voyage. Archdiocese of Boston. "This booklet has been published through the generous donation of John B. Hynes, III, Managing Partner at Boston Global Investors, in honor and memory of his grandfather, Mayor John B. Hynes, his father, Jack Hynes, and his mother, Marie Kelly Hynes. Mayor Hines was instrumental in founding the original Our Lady of Good Voyage in 1952. His son Jack hoped that this new Shrine would perpetuate the true mission of his Catholic faith to the thousands of new residents of Boston's emerging Seaport.".
