The Brooklyn Navy Yard, established in 1801, is a historic shipyard and industrial complex in Brooklyn, New York City. Spanning 225 acres along the East River, it was known for producing wooden and ironclad ships, including the famous USS Monitor. During World War II, it earned the nickname "The Can-Do Shipyard" due to its workforce's contributions.&nbsp;

It was an active U.S. Navy shipyard until 1966, but continued to be used by private industries. Today, the site hosts a commercial and industrial complex managed by New York City, featuring historic and modern buildings.
