Brooklyn Navy Yard - Then and Now

The Brooklyn Navy Yard has been home to a military base, a massive ship manufacturing center, numerous factories and in the last five years, a world class movie and tv studio. But unless you worked at any of those places at some point in the last, oh, 200 years - you weren't able to get it. All that's changed now that the Yard has been openned to the public -- complete with a new visitors center. If you haven't been, I highly recommend a trip. The extent of the space in incredible -- repleat with grand homes that once houses naval admiralty, a network of roads and streets, and all manner of post-industial decay. To get you started, here's a great online gallery of some current pictures as well as images from the storied history of the Yard. Enjoy.
