Brookvid: A Trip to the Bottom of a Brooklyn Navy Yard Drydock

January 30th, 2007 · No Comments


Our little trip to see PortSide New York’s Mary A. Whalen in the graving dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard was, to us, pretty damned cool. Yesterday, we posted a large flickr photoset from the visit. Today, we’re putting up a Brookvid. It gives a little bit of the feeling of what it’s like to be under a boat, several stories down in a drydock with a bulkhead holding back the waters of the East River. You don’t get the damp cold or the kind of fish store smell, but it conveys some of the flavor. Watch the embed or click here.
