BCAP at Home with the Brooklyn Navy Yard
Fixing Boats in the Dry Dock
Many ships still come to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to be repaired in the shipyard. We will take a look at one of the amazing dry docks and learn how they work to get huge ships out of the water. We will then show you how to make your own model of a dry dock to make your own toy boats "high and dry"!
Explore the science, industry, and the history of Brooklyn with our friends at Turnstile Tours at the Brooklyn Navy yard. Each morning we’ll join a live visit to learn about the industrial backbone of Brooklyn, from ship yards to factories!
