Description:
Recall the incredible accomplishments of New York's industrial workers and sailors in World War II as you explore the 300-acre (121-ha) grounds of what was once the world’s busiest shipyard, the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Now a secure industrial park, this is the only way to explore these historic grounds.
Take a step back in time as you explore this industrial section of the Brooklyn waterfront, where 70,000 employees worked to build and repair thousands of ships while wars raged in Europe and the Pacific. Hear stories about the men and women whose tireless work helped earn the complex the nickname “The Can-Do Yard.”
Learn how wounded sailors were treated at the old Naval Hospital, and see the gargantuan workshops where battleships like the USS Arizona and USS Missouri were constructed. Anecdotes from the storied past of Dry Dock 1 are told, as it was continuously used for ship repair since before the Civil War.
Finally, finish your day at BLDG 92, the museum that is home to the Yard’s most precious artifacts, showcased in fascinating exhibits and housed in one of the Yard’s innovative, new “green” buildings.
