Brooklyn Navy Yard Tour: Sunday
/The Urban Oyster tour company recently reached out to me to tell me they give tours of the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the Brooklyn Historical Society and the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. Many tour attendees have either been people who have parents or grandparents who worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard or people who live in neighborhoods close to the Yard. Sunday, November 22nd will be the last Brooklyn Navy Yard bus tour this year. Tours will resume in the spring.
Might be a fun way to get an inside glimpse!
Description of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Bus Tour
In partnership with the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation and the Brooklyn Historical Society, Urban Oyster leads a bus tour replete with fascinating stories of the Brooklyn Navy Yard's past, present, and future. At stops along the way, we hop off the bus to get a closer look at the Yard's most intriguing sites, including a dry dock that's been used since before the Civil War, the 20-acre former Navy hospital campus that is virtually frozen in time, and the nation's first multi-story LEED-certified industrial building. This tour leaves from the Brooklyn Historical Society.
