Weekday Sketchers at Brooklyn Navy Yard
 |
| Entrance to Blg 77 on Flushing Ave |
Join us this week as we explore this vibrant location on the East River, whose history dates back to before the Revolution. Once the site of the horrific British Prison Ships during the Revolutionary War , this site has transitioned from the ship yard that amazingly built the vessels that won the Second World War to a decommissioned site of empty buildings and equipment. Now in its present reincarnation, the Brooklyn Navy Yard is a vibrant hub of emergent businesses, movie studios, museums and retail food shops.
Come and explore the colorful food hall and the industrial landscape of ships, cranes and equipment that line its streets and alleys.
