Brooklyn Navy Yard Exhibit

The extraordinary history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard is recounted in this original exhibition: Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present and Future. Explore the three-floor show, featuring rare documents and objects as well as photos, images and videos. Learn about the many ships and battleships the yard sent to sea duty, including the first US steam warship, the Fulton II. The exhibition also introduces the generations of people who worked or were stationed at the yard, which hit its peak of 70,000 employees during World War II and included some of the nation's first "Rosie the Riveter" workers.
