Excellent overview of Brooklyn Navy Yard's history and current industrial usage
Brooklyn Navy Yard BLDG 92的点评
点评:The Saturday-only guided walking tour provides an excellent overview of the Brooklyn Navy Yard's history and its current industrial usage now that the City of New York owns it. Our guide walked us through several of the century-old buildings, describing how they were used once to help the Navy build & maintain warships and are now used by a wide variety of industrial tenants.
We also got to visit the Yard's Building #92; now used to hold a museum with extensive timelines showing how the Yard has contributed to American history for ~200 years. Our tour took us to the roof of one of industrial buildings to see a bird's eye view of the whole yard and the various waterfront wharfs. Our final stop was to see the oldest dry dock (#1), which is still used these days to maintain Coast Guard cutters based in NYC.
The yard's remaining nautical usages are mostly for government river craft, such as the NYC Ferry system and the Fire Department. Note the Brooklyn Navy Yard is some distance (~15 minute walk) from the nearest subway station, so be prepared to do lots of walking to both get there and on the tour.

我们还参观了Yard's Building #92;现在曾经是一座博物馆,展示了这座庭院在约 200 年来如何为美国历史做出的贡献。我们的旅行带我们来到一栋工业建筑的屋顶,鸟瞰整个院子和各个海滨码头。我们的最后一站是参观最古老的干船坞(#1),该船坞至今仍用于维护位于纽约市的海岸警卫队快艇。
该船厂剩余的航海用途主要用于政府河船,例如纽约渡轮系统和消防局。请注意,布鲁克林海军造船厂距离最近的地铁站有一段距离(步行约 15 分钟),因此请准备好步行大量的时间才能到达那里并参加游览。
