I chose the Brooklyn Navy Yard as it has a great importance not just in New York City’s history, but the history of all of the United States itself. The Brooklyn Navy Yard was where we had a huge impact in the young nations fight against the British and once, free, a part in every war that the nation had part in. Today it has become a relic of the past and is now becoming something sort of a museum as it is there to show how things were in the past. The Shipyard was made in 1801 and Americas first warship, the USS OHIO was built. After this many warships were built in the Brooklyn Navy Yard such as the USS  Savannah, Peacock, Dolphin, Vincennes, Fulton II, Decatur, San Jacinto, and Niagara. It was once an integral part of the US NAVY but now it lays decrepit. However some buildings are being renovated which will be a great thing for the area.
