This three-part series is presented in partnership with the New York Council Navy League, with support from Huntington Ingalls Industries. These programs look at over two hundred years of naval shipbuilding at a variety of scales, from the hyper-local of Brooklyn to the present-day landscape of America’s shipbuilding industry. Part one examines shipbuilding at the Brooklyn Navy Yard from its founding in 1801 through the lead up to the Second World War. In part two, we look at the broader perspective of the 40+ shipyards that operated in New York Harbor during the war. And part three examines historical transformations in America’s shipbuilding industrial base from the end of the war through to the present day.
Tickets to watch the programs live are available through the New York Council Navy League, and recordings of each program are accessible to all Turnstile Members 48 hours after the program airs.
