Weekday Sketchers at Brooklyn Navy Yard
It's an amazing reinvention of an historic landmark. It's a remarkable museum, It's a industrial wonder. It's a great indoor/outdoor food court. It's a reclaimed meadow in the middle of Brooklyn.
What is it? It''s the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
| Brooklyn Navy Yard Bldg 92 |
Join us this wee to explore this fascinating space that once housed the infamous British prison ships where American troops were starved to death and later the shipbuilding yards that built the fleet for WWI and WWII. Now reinvented as an industrial and historical hub, we can capture this urban landmark in our sketch books. Then after lunch, we will walk to a place in the middle of the industrial hub to take in the beauty and silence of a natural wild meadow.
