A tour for thé lover of the off the beaten path. I had seen the Brooklyn Army Terminal both from the BQE and the NYC Ferry and knew there must be a story there, too immense not to have been important for something at some point in history, but assumed its glory days were somewhere in NY’s past. That, I found out, was both true and false. Because it was a cold and rainy day, and precisely because the BAT is off the beaten path, I was the sole participant that day and so instead of having to hold all my questions and thoughts to myself as one usually does on tours, I was able to walk and talk with Andrew, my guide. I found him to be thoroughly steeped in the history and lore of the BAT, and after my two hour visit, I came away knowing much more about a place that was very important to America’s war effort in WWII. And continues to play a role in the development of New York City. I’ll leave it to you to take the tours and fill in the blanks for yourself. Highly recommend!

Great stories about the history of NYC as a shipping center...a history of NY I had no clue about and Evis was really here! Can't wait to take the Brooklyn Navy Yard tour!
