Brooklyn Navy Yard, Naval shipyard in Brooklyn, United States.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard spans 300 acres along the East River, containing six dry docks, multiple industrial buildings, and maritime facilities.
Established in 1801, this naval facility constructed vessels through major conflicts, including the USS Monitor during the Civil War and battleships in World War II.
The former military installation now functions as an industrial park, housing over 500 businesses focused on manufacturing, technology, and creative industries.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours departing from Building 92, which includes exhibitions about the maritime and industrial heritage.
During World War II, the facility employed 75,000 workers and earned recognition as 'The Can-Do Shipyard' for its rapid vessel production capabilities.
