I chose this photo because my group member had a similar blueprint and i thought that comparing both blueprints in different time periods would be interesting. This blueprint was issued in 1894, my group members blueprint was issued in 1906. If you compare the two blueprints, you can see that the layout has changed but not drastically. The wallabout channel is present in both blueprints but today the channel does not form a small island that used to be present in the navy yard. it would be great to see a map of the navy yard today and compare all 3 maps or blueprints.
