Once again, Thirteen has infiltrated a rarely seen part of New York: the Brooklyn Navy Yard (which opened up to the public briefly last year), and captured it on film.


They note that for the video they "looked for someone who could tell us about the Yard from the perspective of an employee during it’s heyday" and found Rubena Ross, an employee around the time of WWII. Fun fact: Ross was able to purchase two brownstones from the salary she earned there, and just sold one in Prospect Heights to a family who is now renovating it with the help of This Old House!
