Brooklyn Navy Yard

A major vessel-building location since the Revolutionary War, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was incorporated in 1801 as America’s top federal shipbuilding facility. Over 200 years later, after decades of neglect, this 300-plus-acre area has been rehabilitated as a thriving industrial park, with over 40 buildings, three dry docks, four active piers and more than 250 tenants, from art and graphic design firms like Malin Ericson Studio, to trucking and industrial shipping concerns like Del Express, Inc.
