I randomly came across the Brooklyn Navy yards when I was wandering through Williamsburg last week. This is a massive property that was at one time the largest navy yards in the country. Many famous battleships were built here including the Missouri. It's a huge complex that makes Cockatoo Island look like a drop in the ocean. They stopped building ships here back in the 60's and it's currently being transformed into an eco friendly manufacturing precinct. There is also a massive movie studio there. They have tours on the weekend and I luckily timed it perfectly for the start.
So many things not yet discovered by you. Get cracking! Very interesting.
