Brooklyn Navy Yard drydock


 Another very early photograph. Taken in 1846, this photograph shows the Brooklyn Navy Yard's first dry dock being constructed. It was completed in 1850 and has been in operation ever since. The image below is from a 2018 article in Curbed New York.

  1. Great article with great photos. I like the idea of concrete blocks with wooden tops as supports...I think I'll make a few of those blocks on a much smaller scale for use around the shop.
