In Boston, near the Moakley Courthouse, is the Our Lady of Good Voyage Shrine, which has stained glass installed around the doors.
The building is a shrine, recently built for the chapel that was previously located down the street in another building - now gone. The building is located on Seaport Avenue, at the intersection with Sleeper Street. The door faces Sleeper Street.
The windows are on either side and above the door. From the inside, a figure of Mary with Jesus in one arm and ships in the other. On the right is a figure of a man (likely Saint Nicholas, Patron Saint of Sailors), with silver and gold oversized keys and a scroll saying "Follow Me and I will Make You Fishers of Men."
The other windows did not appear to be stained glass. The circle above the door may also be a stained glass window - it was difficult to see through the reflections. There was a sermon going on at the time of visit so I did not wander in.
