The United States Navy Yard, also known as the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the New York Naval Shipyard (NYNS), was a shipyard located in Brooklyn, New York, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) east of the Battery on the East River in Wallabout Basin, a semicircular bend of the river across from Corlear's Hook in Manhattan.
The Foot of Hawkins Street scrapyard sits on twenty-seven acres of industrial parkland, at the edge of Newarkâs old Ironbound District. The yardâs metallic topographyâlarge piles of scrap metal, mainly of steel, but also of copper, aluminum, and stainless steelâcan be seen from the West Side high-rises in Manhattan. Sometimes, when the sun hits the piles, they glitter like honey-coated breakfast cereal.
